]]>If you’re new to virtual racing, here are some tips for planning your course.
Start by thinking about where you want to run and what you want to achieve on your virtual race day. Are you trying to run your first mile or do you want to set a new PR? Whatever your goal is, remember to be flexible for things like road closures and to have fun.
Choose the distance you want to run. Do you want to run one mile, a 5K, a 10K, a half marathon, or a marathon?
After you’ve chosen your race goal and distance, think about where you want to run. Try and avoid heavy traffic, construction areas, stop lights, and people. If you’re working on a PR, flatter courses will be easier to run faster and if you’re trying to avoid people, trails are more secluded. Prior to race day, run or walk the route to ensure you know where you’re going.
If you’re running in the heat for more than an hour, carry water with you to rehydrate. Also bring a source of calories like gels, chews, or a drink with calories for fuel.
