Read the ten tips about running in a marathon carefully and do as directed. You’ve done your training – now you have to run the race. Here are our ten tips to help you succeed in any big city marathon. Be determined to finish. Your mind needs to be as strong as your body! 1 Don’t give up unless you have an injury. Check all your gear carefully three or four days before the race. 2 Then you’ll know you haven’t forgotten anything. Don’t wear anything new, especially shoes. Have the gentle run the day before the big race. Two or three times will not 3 affect your energy reserves and it will relieve any pre-race nerves you may be feeling. Resist the temptation to spend the whole day before the race sightseeing or shopping. It’s easy 4 to do that at the big city marathons like Boston or New York, especially if you go with a friend. Take it easy the day before. Take a shower the morning of the marathon. This removes body oils and 5 helps the body stay cool, which is important to prevent dehydration. Split the race into “chunks” in your mind. Concentrate on each five-mile or five-kilometer 6 section, so that you feel you are making progress. Instead of running 26 miles, you just have to run five miles five times! Run at a steady pace that you know you can maintain. Don’t get too excited 7 at the start – if you set off too fast, you’ll suffer later. Eat a large balanced dinner in preparation for the race. This could include protein, 8 carbon hydrate, and some fat. A nice dessert would be fine. No alcohol! Page 4 of 6
5. 9 Don’t drink too much during the race. You should sip water at every stop but not too much. Never try glucose supplements if you haven’t used them before in training. 10 Plan how to get to the start of the race carefully and arrive at least up half an hour before so that you have time to warm up properly. pro perl Decide whether the sentence is True or False. Tick () in the correct column. y. Tips: True False 1. If you have an injury, you should stop running. 2. Buy a pair of new running shoes especially for the race. 3. You shouldn’t run far the day before the race. 4. Spend the day before looking around the city. 5. If you don’t take a shower on the day of the race, you may become dehydrated. 6. Take a break every five miles or five kilometers. 7. It’s a good idea to start the race fast and then slow down. 8. You shouldn’t eat a lot the day before the race. 9. You should drink a little water at regular intervals. 10. Arrive about 15 minutes before the start of the race. III. Fill each gap with a suitable word. Write your answers in the box provided.
