When running a marathon or an ultra marathon, race day mistakes can can ruin everything. From my experience, I've listed the 7 most common and disastrous marathon race day mistakes to avoid. These are mistakes common amongst new runners and experienced runners alike.
You spent months preparing for your marathon. Hard training that will finally pay off! Today is the day - today is race day! And although I'd say the hardest part of running a marathon or an ultra marathon is training, all your effort could be wiped out by some bad race day mistakes. Today, we're discussing these mistakes, and importantly, how to avoid ruining your marathon training.
I've kept the list relatively short because there are endless race day mistakes to discuss. But these are common, and any of these mistakes could lead to a DNF. Hopefully this information will help you achieve your running goals at your next race - maybe running your first marathon or running your first ultra marathon.
As always - Thanks for watching and remember -
Work Hard!
Believe in yourself!
Push your limits!
