Emily's Top Tips…
🚴 CROSS TRAINING
- Rest days are important in reducing your risk of injury
- Cross training days can be a great form of active recovery!
- A bike ride, swim, yoga or pilates are great ways to recover from the runs whilst still strengthening, lengthening and moving your body
🦶 INJURY MANAGEMENT
- Address any injuries now so that they don’t sideline you later
- Early injury management could be as simple as modifying your training program, designing an appropriate warm up/cool down, or looking at your footwear
- The sooner you address an injury, the sooner you can implement a management plan and give yourself the best possible chance to complete your run
👟 FOOTWEAR
- Vital in the management of an injury, as well as prevention!
- Ideally you will have run at least 100km in your shoes before hitting the Start Line
- Get your shoes fitted professionally by the team at
💦 HYDRATION
- It can be dry here in Central Queensland, so try to get a few training runs done in dry/warm conditions
- Ensure you stay well hydrated during your training runs and practice your hydration regimen for the event prior to race day
- Know the course- water stations will be set up no more than 2.7km apart, offering water, infinite (glucose/electrolytes), cola and lollies
