[roseabi]

If you've seen the latest poll you might want to know this!

"What’s a “tune-up”?

A tune-up refers to a race or event that occurs in advance, usually several weeks or even months, of your goal race. They are often, but not always, of a shorter race distance than what you are training for and are done for a number of important reasons.

Why run a tune-up?

Running a tune-up race is a great way to see where you’re at in terms of your current fitness. It also helps you to assess how effectively your training has been going. By running a shorter race in advance of a longer or more important one, you can see if you are adequately prepared, moving in the right direction or if you might require a change of plan or more specific preparations."

Thanks roseabi I suppose it’s equally possible to do a virtual tune up race in advance of a virtual event!🙂👍
