Race day strategy

Race day strategy involves planning how to approach the race to achieve the best result. It includes pacing yourself—knowing when to conserve energy and when to push harder—based on your training and the race course. It also involves mental preparations, nutrition, hydration, and understanding competitors’ strengths. The goal is to balance effort, avoid burnout, and stay focused throughout the race. A good strategy adapts to unexpected factors like weather or terrain changes, helping you finish strong while minimizing the risk of injury or exhaustion.
