Getting ready for Rocky Raccoon or Sunmart? Here are some tips on trail running I started running again about a year and a half ago. The most fun I have had running is on trails. There are some great training and trail racing opportunities close to Houston. Since I am new to the sport, I can share some of the joys and pitfalls on this alternative to sidewalk running. |

- KNOW THE COURSE! Develop strategies for each segment. Rather than one overall goal, plan on giving yourself small victories along the route!
- Carbo-loading and fluid loading is now a day by day process all week! Hydrate alternating water with electrolyte replacement. Eat regular meals all week and do not miss any meals. You are storing glycogen! And remember, the cells that make up the human body, function best when bathed in fluid.
- If you have been training with weights, this is the time to set them aside.
