re: Routine during the week of a race

For my half-marathon I throttled down the week leading up to the race. TBH, that was a mental hurdle because I love running longer distances and didn’t like the 2-3 mile runs (2 times during week leading up). But, it helps to rest your legs and not overdo it come race day. My mindset had to change regarding carbs also due to not eating carbs that much in general, but carb loading is essential for longer races.
Carb load, reduce mileage, hydrate, stay off your feet the day before, and something for fuel the morning of. I tested different combos during training so I knew how my body reacted. Everyone’s different at the end of the day. Good luck
