🏁 IT'S RACE WEEK, JERSEY CITY! 🏁
The day you've been preparing for the past 3+ months is finally here. All the work you've put in will show up on Saturday. You're ready.
FINAL RACE WEEK REMINDERS:
DAY BEFORE RACE DAY:
-Get as much sleep as you can 2 nights before race day
-Can't sleep the night before? Don't worry—this is normal. Most runners feel this way. Focus on rest days leading in.
-Eat foods you're used to eating before long runs (easily digestible)
-Set out your race day outfit and plan your route to the start line
-Roads will be closed—give yourself ample time + extra for warm-up and corrals
RACE DAY MORNING:
-NO drastic changes. Wear an outfit you've done long runs in and feel comfortable in.
-Don't change nutrition or electrolytes from what you've used in training
-Check the weather Friday/Saturday night. Layers are your friend—keep warm at the start, shed as you warm up.
-Pin your bib to your innermost layer so you don't lose your tracker
KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME:
-Write down 2-3 mantras before race day. When it gets tough, when you hit that wall, positive self-talk ONLY.
-Adrenaline will hit at the start. Check your pace. If it's way faster than your typical race pace, ease back and pick it up later.
-Pacing is negotiable—adjust when you need to while staying in control
THE WORK IS DONE. Today is the cherry on top.
You are ready. Anything the race throws at you is something you're prepared for.
You ARE capable. You CAN do this. You WILL cross that finish line.
Let's go, Jersey City! 💪🏁
