August finds you three months out from the Dallas leg of Michelob ULTRA 13.1 Series. Time to focus on the following elements to make this experience your best race yet!

Count backwards from race day and allow for a gradual buildup for total overall weekly mileage depending on personal abilities. Example: adding two miles to a 20 mile week. If you’re a beginner, consistency in training is also important. Try to vary your walking or running workouts to keep them interesting and allow for recovery. Build in easy days, structured days with short, harder efforts, and days of complete rest.

Keep a log to use as a personal roadmap of what works for you. Best time to workout, what to eat, what feels right or wrong. Experiment now with hydration and nutrition. What products and when to take are things to work on now vs. race day
