• Get adequate sleep the night before the race. Ensure you sleep very well on Saturday night since the night before a big race, you may not sleep too well.
• The night before race day, have a dinner rich in carbohydrates, but do not overeat!
• Snack light and arrive well before start time to avoid last minute anxiety & chaos.
• Run at your own pace without being influenced by others around you.
• It is essential to warm-up before the race. Exercise at lower pace in the first 5 minutes.
• Cool-down gradually over the last 5 minutes at the end of the race. Do not stop suddenly.
• Consume water or other rehydration fluids at regular intervals, know your ‘sweat rate’ and consume fluid in proportion to it. If you don’t know your sweat rate it would be ideal to drink 200-250 ml of fluids (available at water stations) every 20 minutes.
