hi all
any tips you can share for first timer 42k... i have done several 21k and I want to try 42k so I might need some of your expert tips
-what to do
-routine
-what to prepare
-what to do in the middle of the event
-what to do after the event
tnx to all who would suggest
1. Train for the race, make sure to have an LSD a month before the event for at least 32K but not exceed 35K.
2. Taper a week before the event. It doesn't mean that you will no longer run/jog. You still can but reduce the time/distance.
3. Carboload 5 - 3 days before the event. We mostly see runners to carboload a day before the race.
4. Have enough rest/sleep 2-3 days before the race. Usually, you can't sleep well the night before the race due to anxiousness or excitement.
5. Hydrate your body with energy drinks a day before the race. It works for me(I highly recommend pocarri or gatorade depending on the availability)
6. Eat a light meal an hour before the race. And drink water/energy drink.
7. Don't forget to do CR #1 & #2. If possible, take at least 1 capsule/tablet of loperamide. It helps if ever you have drink/eat contaminated water/food during the race. I hope not.
8. Apply body glide/petroleum jelly on your groin are(unless you are wearing compression/cycling shorts) and arm pits including the nipples. If possible apply tape on your nipples. If may sound crazy but trust me you will thank me later.
9. Start slow. Finish Strong. Place yourself at the tailpack before the gunstart. It will help to start with your planned pace.
10. Listen to your body. Make sure to hydrate before you feel you are thirsty. Walk if needed. If you feel the heat at the later part of the race, pour some cold water on your head, nape and arms.
11. Eat if there is food offered. Remember that our stored glycogen is only good for 1hr and 30minutes. You need food to fuel your body.
12. Have fun. Make friends or meet new friends while on the road. Smile and greet your fellow runners.
13. After the race, eat and rehydrate. If possible, reward yourself 1-2hrs of massage.
I hope it helps.
thanks boss sa info
yea I have to agree when it comes to sleeping problems due to excitement and anxiousness. So 2-3 days adjusting the body clock would be decent.
ok ra followup question? I have tried this before on my first 21k attempt. where in I brought extra pair of medyas kay feel nako na luthan ko tungod sa ako nipis nga medyas. Any good socks you can recommend?
I've been using Puma Flux ever since(though nagkamahal na ni karon, sa una mga 4yrs ago tag 150 ra gyud ang pares ani). Ang akoa mga amigo OK-han ra sad sa medyas sa RUNNR katong 3 pairs for 450 ata(i'm not sure with the current price).
Naa man gud daghan factor ngano maluthan atoa tiil. First, fitting sa sapatos, it could be addressed by choosing at least .5 the size bigger than your actual shoe size, ang uban 1 size biger. Then, moisture sa imo tiil(whether singtanon ka og tiil or dili), try to apply foot powder sa imo tiil para at least mareduce ang moisture na mabout ilawom sa sapatos. Then, foot strike, if more on forefoot strike ka most likely dali ra maluthan ilawom sa imo forefoot, labi na og bug-at ang pressure in every stride. Para ma-adjust from forefoot to midfoot, shorter your strides and increase your cadence(steps per minute). Mostly mao ni ang stride sa mga POSE/CHI and barefoot runners.
