On the race day

This is it! The race is approaching and you are even racing in your dreams. Have I run enough? Did I underestimate my preparation? These and many other thoughts might toss in your head and do not let you focus on things you are still able to change. For example, what should you wear on the race day?

What to wear on D-Day

It is important to wear something comfortable, something you have worn before and what makes you feel good. When choosing the right clothes you should consider not only your personal preference but also the weather. Those runners, who plan to stay on their feet longer, must keep in mind that they might be exposed to inclement weather conditions for a long time, so their body temperature will most likely change. If it is sunny and hot, avoid long sleeves and run in a t-shirt - and do not forget a hat to prevent sunstroke!

D-Day drinking regime

In the last days before the race, try to drink more than usual. Consuming enough water will assure good circulation of all bodily fluids and help the blood spread all the vital nutrients and oxygen throughout your body where they are needed. If the flow is affected by an insufficient supply of water, it may slow down the processes in your body, resulting also in the slowdown of your pace and overall race performance.

Therefore, it is important to spread the intake of fluids throughout the whole run. Drink in small doses, do not drink too fast or too much fluid at once. Avoid drinking immediately at the finish; allow your body to recover first.

D-Day nutrition

If you are on a track for more than 100 minutes, you should not underestimate nutrition. During the race carry along an energy gel, a few sugar cubes or a candy bar, something that you have tried out before, and are sure that it will not cause any trouble. If you eat during the race, start with a small amount just before reaching a refreshment station as it is very important to drink fluids after eating while running. Then you can increase the intake moderately. Sports drinks can also increase endurance by providing long lasting energy and encouraging fat burn.
