TIME TRAIL PREPERATION
Time trail is tomorrow at 7 am. Make sure you are prepared and ready to go.
Pre-race Tips
1. Get good sleep - Maintain a good sleeping routine: That means go to sleep at around the same time every night and wake up around the same time.
2. Eat right - Carbo load two day before and hydrate - eat about 3-4 hours before your race. If you don't want to sacrifice sleep you can eat almost all the way up to your race but the food is going to be progressively get less and easier to digest. Good breakfast food would consist of muffin, pancakes, hash-browns, toast etc.
3. Visualize you race -The night before your race find a quite dark room were you can relax and be alone. Make a plan and imagine your race. Imagine feeling good, running easy and having fun. Imagine having success and finishing strong. Be prepared for the unexpected.
4. Goals - Have small and big goals for the race. Example: Staying relaxed, finishing strong, maintaining good running form, no mental lapses, beat previous best time etc. Goals should be set on things you can control over.
4. Warm-up -You should develop a warm-up routine Find a place to relax and deep breath. Do a 10-15 minute jog to get muscles loosened up and the blood flowing. Do some pylometrics and ground drills that will help stretch and looses the muscles.
5. BE MENTALLY TOUGH. Don't settle for mediocrity. Always do your best in everything. Regrets are always accompanied with a lack of effort.

WEEKLY MILEAGE
STEP ONE: Determine weekly mileage -Example beginner week 3 = 20 miles
STEP TWO: Determine Long slow distance day by * weekly total by .2. - Example 20*.2 = 4
STEP THREE: Determine the other 5 days mileage total. 1. 20-4(LSD) = 16 and then 2. 16/5 = 3.2
So your week looks like this.
Sunday - Rest
Monday - LSD 4 miles
Tuesday - 3.2
Wednesday - 3.2
Thurday - 3.2
Friday - 3.2
Saturday - 3.2
________________________________________________________________________
Try to hit your mileage goals for each week. If it feels like it is to easy or to hard revamp what tier you should be in. Be consistent, that is the key. Keep in mind that mileage will increase and get harder as the season progresses.
