Getting ready for 10K.

[Sikk]

I haven't really been running as much as I should, but I think im going to do the sun run still in 8 days, IS there anything I could do now to help me threw it? im just going to eat good and hopefully I can run the full thing. What kind of breakfast should i have on the day of the run, it starts at 9:00am.

Oatmeal, fruit and water.

Nothing that will make you need a shit, which with runner's bowel-prone bowels like mine rules out oats. If I plan to run early I'll down a few eggs with toast then maybe a banana.

How prepared are you for 10K?

well I'm not sure, im not good with calculating distances, I can jog for 45 Min's, i know that. i plan on getting another 2 good runs within the 8 days and rest before the 10K.

eat what you would normally eat on any given day, try to eat early and shit before the race. Its all gravy after that. Its only an hour

good luck i am going to start to try to run

I have a question, how far would I have went if I slow jogged steady for an hour? I just had a run yesterday that lasted an hour, but I forgot my step counter..

We can't answer you there mate. It could vary between 5 and 8 miles.


As long as you know you won't be finishing first you'll be fine. As long as you can jog for about a hour->hour 20 (which isn't THAT bad if you have something to occup your mind) you'll get through it

i suggest making a banana smoothie the morning of the race. take a banana, cup of milk, a bit of yogurt, and blend it all together. Throw on some cinamon if you want. It is pretty good, and easily digestible. I also suggest that you have at least a half hour to warm up. I usually run a SLOW jog for few minutes, then a light stretch, then a faster jog for a minute or two, then stretch. oh yeah, download the beatdown and bring a music player. My final bit of advice is to take a shower and look decent because there might be some hot girl runners.

light breakfast its only a 10k so u dont need to carb load

The running freaks around here load up on carbs like pasta the day before a race. Then have a light protein breakfast like hard boiled eggs (whites) and lots of water.

there is no need for super carbing for a race that takes under one hour

The night before have some good carbs. The day of the race get up at least 2 hours early, and eat something, personally for me it is a bananna, and also some PowerAid or Gatoraid also drink some water. 1 Hour before hand strech and jog/ slowly run about 1500 or 2000 meters. Just relax, go out smart and finish strong. The race is 6.2 miles just remember that.
