Your race day checklist to ROCK Montréal! BY JESSIE SEBOR
W
e have all been there: You show up to the start line of a race and go to pin your bib on your shirt…but realize you’re out of safety pins. The whirlwind that is race morning is familiar to anyone who has ever toed a starting line and it is easy to forget your anti-chafe lotion or fuel belt if you aren’t careful. So what can you do to make sure you don’t show up at Gear Check after your Rock ‘n’ Roll finish, soaked in your own sweat, only to realize you forgot dry clothes to throw on? Make a list so the pre-race jitters don’t lead you to leave your bib on the kitchen table.

Manners for miles Race-day etiquette can be confusing. Where’s runner-Ann Landers when you need her? Follow these simple rules and everyone on the course will thank you! BY CAITLYN PILKINGTON | PROVIDED BY WOMEN’S RUNNING
1. Do not cut lines at the bathroom. We know it’s tempting, and we know you really, really have to go. But so do thousands of other runners who are racing the start clock as much as you are. If you’re concerned about missing the gun, opt to find porta potties further from the main entrance of the start area; they tend to have shorter lines. If you have a medical condition that calls for a more urgent bathroom stop, we recommend carrying your medical card to races so others know why you need to get to the front ASAP. 2. Stop talking during the National Anthem for obvious reasons.
Support your fellow runners
3. Start in the correct corral. Your corral is based on your predicted finish time. It’s common courtesy to other runners and walkers to start among others of your same pace. If you do want to sneak up to a lower corral number, ask at the Solutions desk at the expo. 4. Pass on the left, stay to the right. If you’re having the best day ever and speeding up, pass runners on the left. If you need to slow down, move to the right to allow others to easily pass. Race starts tend to be crowded for the first mile or so, and sometimes random weaving happens. Always
be aware of which side you’re passing and try not to step right in front of another runner as you make your move. 5. Be conscientious of other runners at water stops. If you plan on skipping the water, run straight down the middle and don’t crowd sides where others might be grabbing for a cup. If you plan on grabbing a cup and stopping to sip it, wait until you’re fully out of the station zone to move to the side and slow to a walk. Water stops are a hot spot for bottle necking and runners tripping over each other. To minimize congestion, grab quickly and move to the side past those water station volunteers before slowing down. 6. Run through the finish line. You did it! You made it to the finish, and one of the most congested areas is after you cross the line. Don’t stop right on the line—there are hundreds of runners coming in hot behind you! Keep moving toward the medals and post-race snacks.
Spread the high five love! With friends, strangers and spectators, before during and after the race--there are few better feeling than giving and receiving a good ol’ high five! The spectators will be out early for you and are notorious for providing much needed, high-energy, support

5 Race-Day Don’ts
Spoiler alert: You’re going to have a blast race morning no matter what! But keep this advice in mind to make sure common mistakes don’t derail your day. BY DUNCAN LARKIN | PROVIDED BY COMPETITOR MAGAZINE
R
ace morning is typically a time when your nerves are on edge. A good way to ensure you’re as prepared as possible is to know what not to do from the time you wake up to the moment when the gun sounds. Keep these five “don’ts” in mind next time you’re getting ready to take the start line: 1. Don’t starve yourself. Coach Dennis Barker of Team USA Minnesota suggests setting your alarm for about four hours prior to the start of your race so that you can have a light breakfast. “For a longer race, where glycogen depletion may be an issue, remember the glycogen in your liver is depleted even while sleeping,” he says. Alicia Shay, an internationally competitive trail runner and coach, agrees that proper fueling is key the morning of and suggests practicing in training what you will eat on race day. “You will want to know that those foods don’t upset your stomach,” she cautions. 2. Don’t start the race with cold legs. Even if you’re running a marathon, do
some sort of warm-up before the race. “Your warm-up is a time to prepare both your body and mind for your best effort,” says Barker. “While you’re jogging, doing drills and stretching, think about your race strategy and how you will execute it. You have probably already thought about it, but think about it again and commit to it.” Go to the line confident in your plan with determination to execute it, and be prepared to react positively to situations you can’t control. 3. Don’t forget a race-day plan. Heather North, coach of Revolution Running says that your race-day plan should include figuring out the time you need to get up, knowing exactly where to park, understanding the best way to get to the start line or your corral and allowing plenty of time to warm-up. “Race morning can turn into a stressful disaster if you haven’t allowed those extra 15-30 minutes to get everything in,” she says. Also remember that races can be chaotic affairs, so come into it with a flexible mind and expect that change will be the norm. Barker
points out that race management, course, and organization can change. Another thing that can change is the weather, so in your race-day plan, make sure you’re packing some cold, windy and hotweather apparel options in the event that the race-day forecast is wrong. 4. Don’t abstain from coffee and water. The last thing you need to worry about is a caffeine headache halfway through your race. If your body is used to it, it may not feel the same without it. Barker advises limiting your pre-race coffee consumption to one small cup. “You want to receive the benefits without getting too jacked up or having to go to the bathroom too much,” he says. Barker also recommends alternating between coffee and small amounts of water and/or a trusted sports drink that you’ve consumed in training. Don’t overdo it with the fluids. You want to be hydrated—not over hydrated. 5. Remember why you’re out there in the first place. Sure, you’ve put a lot of time and effort into training for the race, but remember, this is supposed to be fun! “Many runners are so focused on race morning and the results of everything that they forget to enjoy the day,” says North. “This has been a process of many workouts, long runs, sweat and sacrifice. Relish in the journey that has taken you so many miles. Enjoy the scenery, listen to the sounds and take in each experience along the way. It is a blessing to be able to run, so soak it in!” Shay concurs, saying, “Running and racing is a wonderful gift and nothing that should cause too much anxiety.”

How to be the best race day spectator PROVIDED BY WOMEN’S RUNNING
S
pectators are a huge part of the racing experience- with so many people lining the streets, it is just as important for spectators to prepare for race day as it is for the athletes themselves. We have put together a list of the top tips for spectators to remember that will be sure you give their runner that extra kick they need! Map Out Your Cheer Stops: Just as a runner studies the course map, it is important for spectators to do, as well. Talk with your runner: where on course do they think they will need the most support? Planning ahead so your runner knows where to expect you gives them that added motivation to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Can you be at multiple points on course? Pointto-point courses require some additional planning, but it can be done. Have Supplies For Your Runner: You can never be too prepared. It is always good to have a bag for your runner— complete with clean, dry clothes for the end of the race—for any of those ‘emergency’ needs should they arise on course. Water, shot blocks or Gu, vaseline and band-aids are just a few of the essential items to make sure you have on hand, should your runner miss a water stop or need some quick aid that doesn’t require the on-course medical tent. Make Sure You’re Seen And Heard: This isn’t like junior high, where your
child is embarrassed by your yelling and waving goodbye from the car at school drop-off. Make sure your runner knows you are there! Many spectators will make customized shirts, signs and have plenty of bells or noisemakers so their runner— and the thousands of others out on course—feel love and support on race day. This is a huge accomplishment! Cheer them on in style. Prepare For Photo Ops: You can take great photos of your runner, even with an iPhone. When planning out where you’ll be on course, it is best to let your runner know what side of the road you plan to be on. This will help when passing off supplies or taking photos. For the best chance at great photos, you should try out some test shots on other runners as they pass to get a feel for positioning. Also, wait until your runner fills the frame completely of your camera so they are not too far out of the shot. Designate A Post-Race Meeting Area: The end of the course can be chaotic as runners get their medals, pass through the finisher’s chute and begin to reunite with loved ones. Choose a post-race meeting place in advance in case of spotty cell service and unexpected swarms of people. You meet up safely at the end of the race and can effortlessly head out to celebrate your runner with some fuel in the form of food and drinks!

Rules for Your Race Recovery BY STEPHANIE CAJIGAL | PROVIDED BY WOMEN’S RUNNING
cold too quickly hypothermic symptoms can develop like shivering, stumbling, confusion.” 45 Minutes: Stretch Now is the time to start stretching— gently. Perform stretches that feel good (not painful). Make sure to target all big muscles groups (hips, hamstrings and quads), as well as any areas that have caused you discomfort in the past. 90 Minutes: Take an Icy Bath Plack recommends stepping into a bath for 10 minutes to decrease muscle inflammation. While this is often called an “ice bath,” you don’t need to use actual ice cubes. Simply fill your tub with cold water (54 to 60 degrees). Avoid hot tubs or saunas as heat will increase the inflammation that’s making you feel achy. 2 Hours: Power With Protein Now that your stomach has settled, enjoy a full meal. But forget that big bowl of pasta— your body needs protein in order to repair tissue damage. An ideal post-workout meal includes 10 to 20 grams of the musclebuilding nutrient. Runners over 40 should shoot for the higher end of this range as age affects the body’s ability to stimulate protein synthesis without fuel.
H
ard workouts should make you a better runner. But if you disregard proper recovery, intense efforts have the opposite effect. Instead of faster times at your next event, you end up with tired legs on their way to injury. “After a challenging running effort, your muscles develop microtears,” explains Christine Hinton, a running coach based in Maryland. “This damage can be a good thing, because as they heal they become stronger—but initially, the muscles are weaker from the effort.” Hinton says it all comes down to what you do in the all-important post-workout window. Nurture the muscles and they’ll heal properly; ignore them and they’ll remain inflamed. Not sure how to treat your body after crossing the finish line? Never fear! Just follow this cheat sheet to treat yourself right after every tough run. What to do after. . .
5 Minutes: Walk it Out It’s hard not to be tempted to drop to the ground once your workout is finally over, but the best thing to do is to keep walking. If you stop and sit, your muscles will cramp, which will make you feel stiff later, explains Leigh-Ann Plack, physical therapist at the New York Hospital for Special Surgery. Walk (or jog slowly) for 10 minutes to keep the blood flowing. 10 Minutes: Refuel + Rehydrate Even if you’re not hungry, it’s crucial to get something in your stomach. John L. Ivy, professor of kinesiology at the University of Texas, recommends consuming both carbs and protein post-workout. “This is very important as it will reduce muscle soreness and bring about a faster training adaptation,” he says. Eat a small meal that has a 3:1 ratio of carbs-toprotein—think a peanut butter sandwich or a fruit and yogurt smoothie. Wash it down with plenty of water to prevent dehydration. 30 Minutes: Get Dry Change out of your wet clothes and dress for warmth. If you’re at a race, grab a space blanket to avoid a rapid drop in body temperature. Plack explains, “If you get too
1 Day: Rest Avoid vigorous exercise the day after a hard effort. Especially if you raced or performed a very tough run, take the day to rest completely. The most strenuous thing you should do is stretch. “When you ask your muscles to work hard, they will potentially break down a bit and tell you ‘I’m sore and hurt,’” Plack says. “Make sure your muscles are relaxed and you are getting enough rest to allow your body to heal itself.” 2 Days: Get Hands-On At this point, your muscles will start to feel less tender. Treat yourself with a massage to encourage drainage of waste products within the muscles that can cause spasms and soreness. Another option is to perform a DIY rub-down using a foam roller or massage stick. 3-4 Days: Recover Actively How long you choose to take off before starting to run again depends on the intensity of the workout or race as well as your goals and fitness level. In the meantime, light cross training will improve blood flow and reduce soreness. Ease your body back into exercise with low-impact workouts like yoga, easy cycling, walking or swimming. When you are finally ready to run, go slow, keep the distance short and opt for soft surfaces like a trail or track.
