Oxfam Trailwalker - Ep 07
The event day has arrived – but what should you expect. Your event day plan should start from when you arrive not just at the starting gun.
Simple things like where to meet, how to keep focused and setting an appropriate pace right from the beginning can make all the difference. During the event a lot of work needs to go into keeping the team going, making sure everyone is on the same level, helping others manage their nutrition and hydration during the event.
One of the biggest motivators can be remembering what you are doing the event for and that supporting the Oxfam cause is a great motivator and a great cause.
As the event draws closer and you have your training, equipment and nutrition under control now it is time to start thinking about the other critical aspect of your Trailwalker experience. Your support crew.
In this episode Toby discusses the importance of having a plan to maximise the benefits of having a support crew.
Working out the simple things such as how you are going to find your support crew when you arrive at a busy check point in the middle of the night, will make all the difference to your well being and morale at 60km into the event.
In episode 5 hear about the best way to prepare for the event from a nutritional and hydrations perspective.
What to eat and when to eat are things what you should have planned with your support crew prior to the event.
Avoiding dehydration can make all the difference to your performance on the trail.
Pick up some handy tips on how to keep yourself fuelled for the full 100km.
