If you have incorporated the Sojourners Running Tips into your training program and started to participate in road races, here is some race ready advice for the big day. Most people don t just plan and run a race on the same day.
Preparation is accomplished over time.
At this point in your training you can gain nothing by training hard except injury. Your last week should not exceed 15 to 20 miles, in addition to the race. Keeping your low fat diet is ongoing, but with some modifications as your get ready for your race. Carbohydrates should increase the week before. Carbohydrates may take the form of bagels, pasta, rice, potatoes, bread, etc.
