All Runners:
Must wear running clothes and sox. Obviously you should have the right shoes by now.
Eat a snack bar (nature valley Fruit and Nut is my favorite) or Banana or something similar before the run.
Please carry electrolyte drink (Gatorade or similar) while you are running. Please drink electrolyte for every mile after 4 miles or whenever you feel thirsty. Drink only as much as needed.
After the run keep yourself hydrated enough. As always, don’t over do drinking water or electrolyte. At the same time, don’t let yourself feel thirsty for a long time.
FM Runners: Since you are going to run 14 miles, please follow these pre-cautions to prevent injury.
Use “body glide” on all joints and toes to avoid any irritation and blisters. Guys, use “nip-guard”, if necessary.
Carry energy gels (2 or 3 should be good enough) so you can have it when you need energy to push yourself to the finish line.
