3 crucial things you need to be on top of one month out from your marathon. πŸ™Œ 1. Training: πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ For a race like Comrades Marathon, it’s really important to ensure you line up as fresh as possible. Cutting down from 3 weeks out, followed by a 2-week taper is highly recommend. Remember, no more fitness can be gained in the 2 – 3 weeks prior to race day, you could only jeopardise your race if you push too hard during this phase. 2. Nutrition: 🍎 It’s crucial to test out and replicate your exact race day nutrition in the build up to Comrades. I recommend testing it on your longest run. If it works, don’t change it! 3. Kit and Gear: πŸ‘Ÿ You must test your exact race day kit prior to Comrades. Remember don’t be shy to use Vaseline. Know your race day shoes. It’s never a good idea to wear new shoes on race day. If you know what shoes you’re running in, I often tend to do a few runs in them to wear them in. Once they feel ready, I put them aside and save them for race day. This could be anything from running 50kms – 200kms in them. - Nick Bester @justalilbester #runningtips #PreRaceTips #comradesultramarathon #teamafricamarathons πŸ“Έ: @two26_photography
