The 8-9 days before the race should consist of no more than 3 days running with no more than 30 minutes each run.
NUTRITION
Nutrition is as important as the training, often overlooked and underestimated.
1. Take in 16 ounces of fluid for every hour of running.
2. For every run that lasts longer than 90 minutes, replace electrolytes with a sports drink such as Hammer Nutrition’s HEED. Be sure to avoid drinks with high fructose corn syrup and other simple sugars. Hammer’s Endurolyte Electrolyte Replacement Capsules are also a quick way to replace electrolytes on your runs.
