Get Your Sleep Days Before…

RULE: FOUR days FOR ultimate sleep & rest and no strength training on those days either. Eat what you normally eat and drink what you normally drink. Don’t do anything special – it’s just another long run or event. Do what you practice. Of course there are some things to avoid and this is based on you having a balanced meal and hydration approach but the rule can still work for those who work it.

When doing your long runs and preparing for your 13.1, 26.2 and beyond, it’s important that you, “Get your sleep and rest so you can store the energy to move your feet the day of your actual event or long runs!”

Run on Sunday. Your best rest & sleep will occur on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The day before tends to be somewhat restless and sleepless so the other 3 days are it.

Run on Saturday. Your best rest & sleep will occur on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The day before tends to be somewhat restless and sleepless so the other 3 days are it.
