Answer 1

there is nothing wrong with going to get a job the day before your race. The likelyness of you working that same day are very slim but if you are the type of person to get very nervous than doing something other than focusing on your race may just help. As for your nerves the day of, start eating bananas. They have a chemical in them that blocks adrenaline and in some cases to much adrenaline is not a good thing. Good luck with getting a job and with your race.

Answer 2

Well all in all it really depends on the work or job/jogging you'll be doing! and the events that you'll be doing tommorrow....

if the events are in the sprints (100,200,400,800) have plenty of rest and don't go to work..... give yourself a break! for today and tonight!

if the events are medium to long distance 1500-10000meters than you should also still have a good nights rest and not go to bed to late! (20:00-21:00)

if the events are of field things like- long jump, high jump, shot put, javelin, discus or pole volt than you shouldhave a decent nights rest were you uas said before need to sleep early¬

in terms of meals etc  you should do the following:

in three groups before, during and after.

when eating before exercise:

-Three-four hours before exercise the athlete may eat their main meal that should contain no meats because they take about 48 hours to digest properly.

-One-two hours before exercise the athlete may eat a snack/meal that must not include any thing heavy.

-These meals should include starches for example bread, fruit or cereal. Starch gives a slow steady release of energy and should include plenty of fluids such as water or energy juice; this will help the athlete to avoid dehydrating.

When eating during exercise:

-The athlete may drink fluids throughout the session and not wait till he/she feels thirsty. (The athlete must drink about half a glass 100-400ml of water every 5-minutes of the session.)

-the athlete may eat foods that contain potassium and sodium in small portions such as bananas to help prevent muscle spasms.

-The athlete should also drink liquid glucose to save their own of glycogen being used up.

When eating after exercise:

-The athlete must eat foods rich in proteins and carbohydrates within an hour of exercising to replenish and aid in the repair of muscles and glycogen levels.

-The athlete must also drink a good deal of water to substitute for fluids lost.

Before any major competition like your sports day or important training sessions that requires long strenuous exercise the you should have been carbo-loading. Carbohydrate loading is the uptake of carbohydrates through the diet by which the you reduce exercise and increase the amount of carbohydrates eaten at each meal for three days or four days before the competition so i suppose you should have noodles, sphagetti or pasta tonight..... DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT EAT MEAT BECAUSE it takes about 48 hours to digest to you'll have more wieght to carry round than you should have to perform at your best!. carbo loading will allow for the glycogen levels in your muscle to increase which will help the body in long endurance events.

what you should do before the race to decrease your nervousness is visualize you being first and now trhat you'll beat all your competition because your better than they are;)

to get your legs to do what you want them to do is just a little exercises that do the same movement of your event(s) but only very slowly with not to much effort you should also do the following:

The warm up: both jogging and active stretching and is about getting your blood flowing and muscles ready for the event ahead and should be about 5-20 minutes of pace controlled jogging (what ever feels comfortable) and to get the your heart rate to about sixty percent of it's maximum heart rate (MHR) (220-your age) this should be done 1 hour before the event and remember you are better the the other competitors!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the hour before the event you should just chill and in way stretch and jog a little but not much !! visualise and talk to your friends taking your mind off the event and thus releiving of the pressure and you'll feel better!

I have sports day on friday so i know how it feels i'm doing 100, 200m and shot put (odd for a sprinter to be doing shot put ha!!!!) i've be 3 years in a row dissapointed (from winning the sprint double!) because a friend(s) of mine have beat me in shot put by 2 inches and in 100ms literally by an idiots decision that should have been my win and the earlest year was i suppose my fault tripping in the start of the 200m;)

well GOOD LUCK AND I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST

(could you email me what how you do?(should be 1'ST isn't it!!! ;)

my email is [e-mail]

THINK POSITIVE 1ST

sorry for the essay;)

Answer 3

Since you have multiple questions here, I'll give you multiple answers...

First, you need to think about you life. If you are currently unemployed, and you're an adult, you must think about getting a job first. You might not be able to run for the rest of your life, but you certainly need a job every single day. This should come first and foremost, despite how much running and not working is relaxing.

As for your nervouseness on the day of the race, you must take it as it comes. Sure, there are little things you can do to releave some of the nerves, but it's a natural thing. Some people even throw up before competition they're so nervous. If you go down to your local drug store purchase something called StressTab. It works like a charm. It helps to lower your stress levels, which will make you less nervous. Forget the bananna trick, which really doesn't work.

As for increasing your chances of winning, there is nothing you can do on race day. It is all of the days that lead up to race day. But, just relax, warm-up properly, stay lose and just go have some fun!
