Being a first time ADHM entrant would like to know

What are the pitfalls to watchout for on the race day ?

Donot eat anything new atleast 2 days prior to run and also sleep well,

donot run atleast 1 day before run(better if 2 days)

Regards,

Amit

Do enough stretching before running.

Hydrate well during the run.

Run at your own comfortable pace.

I would just add, to these replies that are spot on - Focus this week on hte most positive thoughts, imagine your best long runs, then imagine the route and run that in your mind, plan your run - and do not start too fast.

Smile and make some acquaintances at the start - that always helps

Best
