RACE WEEK TIPS
All the hard work’s done — now it’s about getting your body and mind ready to perform.
🍽️ Eat well.
Aim for a small daily calorie surplus and gradually shift your macronutrients toward higher carbs. You’re topping off your glycogen stores — fuel for the big day.
💧 Fuel and hydrate early.
Good hydration and fuelling doesn’t start the day before — it starts 3–4 days out. Begin increasing fluids and electrolytes early in the week, and keep meals balanced and familiar.
🏃♀️ Train smart, not hard.
Reduce your training volume while keeping some intensity. Let your body absorb all the work you’ve done while staying sharp.
• Do one short, high-intensity session early in the week to fine-tune technique, race pace, and confidence.
• Add a shakeout run — an easy 10–25 minutes the day before (or morning of) the event — just to loosen up and remind your legs they’re ready.
🔥 Mindset.
At this point, there’s no going back — and there’s no need to. You’ve put in the work. Trust your training, and stay present. If nerves hit, take a deep breath and focus on what’s right in front of you.
You’ve already inspired more people than you realize just by showing up and chasing this goal.
You’re a dawg. Go get it.
