DURING THE RACE
Settle - Use the early mile markers to get an indication of pace. Find a group to relax in.
Conserve as much energy as possible. No quicker than 5:45.
Hold - Stay in a group for as long as they are going at the right pace. If they slow, gently
move to the front of the group and move on. Don't be worried if the pace drops on the City part of the course. Keep your effort consistent.
Push - Last lap, all in. Gently 'wring out the towel' to get every drop of energy out over the
race. No sudden pace changes, gradually wind it up. Enjoy passing people. Forget the time, just work hard. This is your strongest part of the race. PACING INFORMATION There are markers every mile, and clocks every 5k. Use the information early on and then find your own rhythm. 2:30:30 pace 2:33 pace DRINKS/GELS Try and take on fuel at every station (see schedule on previous page), little and often.
All drinks stations are on the right hand side of the course, on a table identified as being for Denmark with a flag. Drinks wil either be on the table or handed to you by a Danish official. They are all on the big lap.
There are mist stations at various points and sponge stations after each drinks station. AFTER THE RACE Enjoy yourself. but first lets get the healing process off to a good start if you want to be fit to train in a couple of weeks for the Word Half.
ASAP after finish (within 20 minutes) drink energy drink. Eat recovery bar and other carbs and proteins and drink recovery drink with an hour, earlier if possible.
Eat a meal as soon as you can after the race. Don't overdo things alcohol wise - alternate with soft drinks.
When you get back to vil age, have an ice bath or at least a very cold bath. 15 minutes - limit the micro damage.
Get a massage from team physio on Monday and as often as possible through the week, every day ideally. Back, legs, shoulders.
Eat wel throughout the week. Relax. Don't think too much!
