248: More Women More Miles: UNBOUND Race Day Prep & Course Preview with Kristen Legan (Episode 214)

In this Episode

On our final episode of our More Women More Miles series we welcome back coach Kristen Legan to walk us through how to not mess up your final two weeks of race prep before UNBOUND. We cover everything from taper workouts to race week nutrition tips, and even how to lay out expectations for your friends and family for your race week. Kristen also goes over her suggestions on logistics prep for race day, with things like calculating food and hydration needs and making sure your crew is prepared with anything you may need at your checkpoint stops. If you are heading to Emporia there will be no shortage of fun activities and events to take part in, however you’ll want to make sure you don’t burn yourself out before you actually hit the start line. Kristen gives us a few tips on how to balance maximizing your fun social time at the expo with preparing yourself for race day to show up fresh and ready. Kristi and Kristen also go over an in-depth course preview for the 200 and 100 mile courses, and give their advice on managing adverse conditions like heat and mud.
