RUNNER'S WORLD TRAINING TIPS: PREPARING FOR YOUR NIGHT RACE
Racing at night can be exhilarating and fun, but there are some things you should know when preparing for a night race that will enhance your experience. With the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend less than a month away, here are some Runner's World night-running tips to make sure you are ready to go come race day!
Preparing for your night race:
- Make sure to get at least three practice runs at night close to the Wine & Dine Half Marathon race start time of 10 p.m.
- Practice training runs will allow you to carefully plan what type of fueling, hydration, and bathroom strategies you will need come race day, all of which can have a big impact on your finishing time.
- Be sure to wear reflective gear during your training runs so drivers can see you, and be sure to carry proper ID and a cell phone with you while you are on the road.
- Running in the dark can also change your sense of how your body is moving. You may feel like you’re running faster than you are – which is a great confidence boost!
With these tips in mind, we’ll look forward to seeing you cruise into the Finish Line Party after an exciting Wine & Dine Half Marathon.
