What to do on race day - Arrive at the race about one hour early. Do not get caught up in the crowd at the start. The start is very congested; make sure you watch the runners in front of you. Keep with your running pace that you have been training for. Do not get discouraged on the first mile time; you have plenty of time to get adjusted to your pace. Finally, enjoy the Boilermaker, you deserve it, enjoy the people that are out there to cheer you on. This is the time to rejoice. This week of running is a tune up week, what I call a Cool Down Week. Remember to take in plenty of fluids, light stretching before and after the run.

We’ll be doing 2 workouts this week.
