First race tomorrow - after a week's holiday!

[hilsry]

Hello all!

Tomorrow I'm participating in my first 10k race. I feel pretty confident I'll be OK but I've just had a week away on holiday! I did a short run, some long walks and some HIIT whilst we were there so I have stayed relatively active...any advice about what I should be doing today to ensure I'm ready?

Faffing 😄. It's the number 1 activity pre race.

- Just make sure your kit is all ready,

- Safety pins to attach your number to your vest

- Know how and when you are getting there and leave time to get registered and visit the loo

- Have a post race drink and something to eat in your bag for afterwards. Lots of events give a banana afterwards but don't rely on it. Eat and drink soon after finishing if you can to aid recovery. Same with stretching do a bit, if only your legs as it will help.

- Relax, get a good night's sleep (if you can - easier said than done pre-race)

- Breakfast in plenty of time

ENJOY yourself and remember to tell us all about it and show us the bling!

I hope your run has gone well, and that you managed to fit in plenty of pre-race faffage as recommended by AnnieW55

Looking forward to hearing how well you got on.
