Tip 7 Nothing new on race day

Week 6 of your training plan will start in w/c 7 August 2023.

We are reminding you of the mantra "nothing new on race day" now so that you have time to check out anything new you might want to use on race day - perhaps

  • that new Eagles vest (will it chafe in all the wrong places?)

  • the new running shoes (shoes do wear out but will the new shoes be comfortable for a long run with my old socks?)

  • new gels or even jelly babies (will they disagree with me?)

  • the pasta dish I haven't tried in the past (again will it disagree with me?)

  • running in the morning (people who normally run in the evening might want to think about what to have for breakfast or supper the previous evening so that they are sufficiently fuelled for the race)
