Walang bagong outfit/shoes for the race. Kailangan na-test mo na sa training run lahat ng isusuot mo for the race.

Wag padadala sa excitement ng gunstart. Madami ang hahataw dyan. Wag sabayan. Easy pace lang. Mahaba ang 42.2. You want to conserve your energy.

Run a negative split. Mas mabagal ang pace sa first half dapat. Then dahan dahan magdagdag sa pace sa second half.

Stay properly hydrated. Properly ha. Masama din ang over-hydration kasi mauubos ang electrolytes mo. (Google Hyponatremia).

That said, wag na magdala ng hydration. May hydration stations naman. Pampabigat lang yun. “Every extra pound is a curse for distance runners.”

Yung carbo-loading, hindi ginagawa yun the night or day before the race. It is done during the week before the race. Parang refeed yan, the intent is to increase your glycogen stores. Doing it the night prior will just make you heavier. Kaya the week before para masanay legs mo sa added weight. Doing it the night before will make you heavy at magugulat ang legs mo sa race day... “bakit bumigat ka bossing? Hindi ako sanay sa ganitong weight!” - legs mo.

Be mindful of your posture and running form. Nawawala ang proper form kapag pagod na. Kapag mali na, may ibang sasakit na part ng katawan (like lower back).

Hindi naman bawal maglakad. Pwede yun. Basta wag na wag mag-stop and standstill. Kahit sa hydration station. Keep walking lang while drinking.

Kung kaya pa, sa final 3km ibuhos lahat. 3km is what, 15-30minutes depende sa pace na sanay ka. But that is kung kaya pa. If not, sa final 1km mo ibuhos. Your adrenalin will spike at that point especially sa final 1km. Saka may mga camera na e, so.... Ibuhos na! Proper running form at uulitin ko, smile for the cameras and spectators. 🤣
