Fun Run preparation tips

Make sure you get atleast 7-8 hours sleep every night.

The night before, ensure your meal includes carbohydrates (rice, pasta, potatoes, bread etc), iron rich food and protein.

Spicy, salty and rich foods are a big NO-NO.

Pre-hydration before for run is crucial. If you are well hydrated, you will need less drink stops, which can help with your race time.

On race day, it's best to allow 1 to 4 hours between eating and the race, otherwise your body may not have had time to digest the food properly. Keep the meal light like muesli with skim milk and fruit, porridge with honey, or scrambled egg on wholemeal toast.

Enjoy the race

Don't wear new shoes, outfits or gadgets on the day that have not been tried and tested in training.

Get to the event early so you can relax, use the bathroom, and have a proper warm up / stretch.

Finally, keep positive and good luck!
