This is it, our last week before the San Antonio Rock n Roll Marathon/Half. There isn’t much we can do at this point in time to get faster or stronger, but we can hurt our fitness by doing too much or too little this week. While tapering, we want to maintain our routine, but also decrease our intensity and duration of our workouts. By maintaining our running schedule, our bodies maintain adapations like increased blood volume, which is very necessary to running our marathon/half.
Be prepared
- Know where you are staying the night before the race.
- How are you going to get to the race.
- Where are you going to park.
- Make sure you get your number, chip and packet before race day.
- Have your clothes and shoes ready to go.
- Have any food you plan to take during the race ready to go.
- If you use body glide or band aids, make sure you have them.
- Post race meeting location for family and friends.
- Plan for great nutrition and ice baths after your race
- Do not start your race too fast
Good Luck and Have Fun!
