  • i call my moving comfort fort knox and i have 36dd chest. it's a must have and if you order it from amazon it's cheaper than a sports speciality shop.
  • you need potassium. have a banana or watered down oj :)
  • I've done a bunch of races in the past two years. I have a blast at all of them! You'd be surprise how much better of a runner you are in a race atmosphere and you will certainly get addicted. GOOD LUCK!
  • yeah, i used to eat cheese and pasta ALL THE TIME. i switched this up and made sure that I ate plenty of beans and threw in tofu every once in awhile. Since going veggie 3 years ago, I have included eggs in my diet and I find that there's great protein in that.

  • I used 5 pound weights when I did it, but I found out later that many people use 3 pounds. I personally would invest in both because they are fairly cheap. You can always start with the three's and if you find they are too easy you can always challenge yourself to do the five's.
  • make sure you either have a banana or a small cup or orange juice-- the potassium helps from cramping. also make sure that the meals before are easily digestible, such as white bread as opposed to wheat. DO NOT CARB LOAD! you will be surprised that you don't burn that many of them during the race.
