I NEED RELAY HELP!!

runningxlove

Okay, all...

I am participating in the Ragnar Relay from Boston to Cape Cod on May 11-12. Our team of 12 runners will cover a total of approximately 225 miles in just over 24 hours.

My runner position is the second hardest. I will be running a total of 22 miles, split into three legs (one at 10 am, one at 8 pm, and one at 6 am the next day).

For those of you who know how these relays work, you know that other than running, we are pretty much confined to a van for eating & sleeping, except for stopping at change points, where we can briefly stretch.

I am looking for nutrition, hydration, and muscle tips.. how will I keep my legs from completely tightening up while I am stuck in the van? And any tips on how to fight fatigue... because we all know it will be pretty impossible to get any decent sleep!!

HELP!!!
