Tomorrow you have a long run so we are going to use today to rest OR you can do some light x-training.
I would like you to be thoughtful about your dinner tonight. Start thinking about the meal you will have the night before your race. If you need an idea, try to aim for something with carbs and protein and healthy fats. I typically stay away from greasy foods or too much fiber. My favorite dinners are usually a protein with rice; and if I'm traveling and don't have access to a restaurant/kitchen, I usually eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Whatever you decide to have, use tonight as your experiment and take a few notes. Remember, YOUR nutrition is one of the most vital parts of getting to the Finish line, so start nailing it down now.
X-train Ideas Include:
-Yoga/Pilates
-Cycling
-Swimming
-Elliptical
-Hike
Keep all activities between 30-60 minutes and low intensity.
Final Note: Look through your gear for tomorrow. Do you have enough fuel for the run? Do you need salt tabs/electrolytes? How are your shoes doing? Do you need a new pair soon? What's the weather going to be like? Start preparing for the long run today.
