How do you prepare for a 10k race?

Question

I am running my first race tomorrow night at 630pm and it's the Nike+ 10K. How should I prepare before the race? As in, what should I eat and drink? How much rest? Should I do a light jog in the morning?

Answer 1

I'm doing it too but in LA! You're probably running already but basically you should just rest until the race, and then for like 10-15 minutes before hand walk around or jog a bit to warm things up. You'll be fine!

Easy Fix:

Include a 15-minute warmup before the race, and a 15-minute cooldown afterward, says Carmichael. For both, mix walking and jogging to help ease into and out of your race pace.

Answer 2

ok well i know  have a stupid name and i look girly, but I'm a great sport. ok you can eat spaghetti, and drink water. you need a rest after eating, and a jogging the morning is great.

good luck, and please get back to me, when you have the results.

you'll do great,
