Question

What can i do the day before a track meet to make sure i feel good when i run?

Answer 1

Get lots of rest. Drink only water. Eat a couple of bananas.  Stretch, stretch, stretch!

Answer 2

carbo load and hydrate also if you do distance i like to go on as EASY 10 minute run sprinter maybe do a few starts just to warm your legs up a bit and strech

Answer 3

I really don't have a problem with the day before, my problem is usually the day of. I always try to eat something healthy for lunch like a sub, and drink juice and water. The day before I can drink 3 Mountain Dews and be fine, but the day of I have to eat really healthy.

Answer 4

This is waht my track team does. We run an easy 2.5 mile jog and run 4 150m striders when we are done w/ that. we always feel very good. run the 2.5 miles at a 6:20 mile pace or whatever feels good. Go home get some rest. and Eat pasta.

Answer 5

The day before a meet do you normal warm up just like you do before working out.

Do some strides then stretch and go home.

You should go through you normal warm up before racing, don't shorten your warm up trying to save energy, you will feel better after your warm up,  finish the warm up about 10  minutes before racing, depending on the meet and how you are heated you  may have to sit in the tent or benches for a longer period of time.

Answer 6

1. plenty of rest..dont be walking around all day  2. carb up with spaghetti,pizza,or plain bread is good  3. no soda or tea or kool aid, all you should be  drinking is either poweraid or koolaid  4. good strethching before the race starts

Answer 7

Eat healthy, energizing food. Stay hydrated and get plent of rest. Sometimes putting your legs in warm water can help sooth them. On race days, right before you run, listen to some uplifting music. Make it stick in your head so you can hear it while you perform! Good luck with your meet!
