Health and Wellbeing

Pre-Race Self-Care

Here are a few self-care tips to set you up for a great day on 11 August.

Hydration: Make sure to hydrate on the days leading up to the race and on the morning of race day. Ensure you are drinking electrolytes to set your body up for a good race.

Energy & Nutrition: Eat a calorically dense meal the night before the race to ensure you have reserve energy on the day. Consider increasing carbohydrates on the day before the race. As always, don’t make any extreme changes to your diet right before race day.

Rest: Get to bed early the night before race day and ensure you are prioritising rest in the week leading up. A well-rested body has plenty of energy stored.

Training: Switch to lighter training sessions in the lead-up to race day. Know that your hard work is done, and you want to reserve muscle capacity and energy for race day.

Check In: Check in with yourself. As always, follow your instinct. If you are experiencing discomfort from your training routine or have questions related to pre-race nutrition, check in with your GP before race day.
