I've got less than a week until the MCM Historic Half Marathon. It's time to get ready for the race mentally and physically. Yesterday I ran my last long run, 13.5 miles. At 6:00am I was out for my run and it was great. In my mind I was visualizing the race a week away. It felt great!
I believe that you need to visualize yourself in race mode in your practice. If you are able to do that, you will not get yourself psyched out or stressed on race day.
Think about what you are eating a few days before, at least. We'll discuss this on the next post but it is never too soon to hydrate. I carry a Kor water bottle with me including my Yoli Health drink everywhere I go. Stay away from the junk food, sugar, processed food or you'll pay for it in stomach and digestive issues during your race.
More to come on the next post.
Happy Running.
