If this is your first big race you don’t really know what to expect. Hopefully, your taper has been going well and you are starting to dream about all the possibilities of how the race will go.
But your actual race day is uncharted territory.
So today, we’re going to go over all the things that you need to pay attention to and plan for on race day.
Because when you prepare for as many details as possible, you are setting yourself for the best race you can run.
Now, if this is not your first marathon, this is a perfect refresher course to make sure that you don’t forget anything.
Your goal is to take away as many decisions as possible on the day itself, so you are ready to run with a calm mind, knowing that you’ve done everything right. You want to control the things that are within your control and let everything else go.
To help me out with this race day prep episode, I invited Coach Elisabeth Scott to the show.
Elisabeth is a marathoner, coach and podcast host at runningexplained.co. What I love about Elisabeth is that she takes complicated running topics and breaks them down into really easy explanations.
Elisabeth found running like many of us do, by just wanting to get in shape and change her outlook on life. And she made a lot of mistakes along the way. I’ll let her explain more about that, but I think that’s what makes her so relatable and interesting.
We go into all the details about what you should eat and wear and how to plan every little thing you can to ensure that your big day is as stress free as possible.
Also at the end of the show, I’ll share a little story about a race day that I didn’t plan so well and how that went. Here’s a hint–it didn’t go great.
