Get Race-Day Ready With These Top Tips
10 Mile Runners,
You’ve done the hard work, now it’s time to unlock your race-day best! To give you an extra boost, we’ve teamed up with the #1 Running Coaching App, Runna, to provide you with some top tips for the final days!
🏅 The GOLDEN rule that you have probably heard before = ‘don’t do anything different on race day’. From shoes, to a new outfit, to breakfast, to fuel within your runs, stick to what you know!
1️⃣ Practice In Race Kit
Take your full race-day kit out for a final practice to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible and avoid any last-minute panics on race day.
2️⃣ Fuel Up, But Keep It Consistent
Practice your pre-race breakfast this week – and eat at the same time you will on race day to train your body. Stick to familiar foods – no last-minute changes!
Gradually increase your carb intake so your muscles are fully fueled and ready, rather than relying on one big load the night before.

3️⃣Go For A Shakeout Run
A very relaxed, short shakeout run the day before can help loosen your legs before the big day and flush out any heaviness, leaving you fresh and ready to race.
4️⃣ Plan Your Route To The Start Line
So simple, but always effective. Check directions, parking, and all the boring stuff in advance. Enjoy the pre-race flat lay – lay out your kit, fuel/drinks and anything else you might need the night before.
