Hey everyone
I know there's like a million posts on this, but my PRNC is Jan 19th at Collingwood.
I'm worried. I can smash the swim test easily, but the run.. I managed the distance in under the required time the other day, but for the last 3 days I'm seriously struggling. It's like someone has stuck cheap Aldi batteries in me which last a quarter of the time.
All I want to know, is do you think it is easier running in a group of people? I always practice my running on a track and it's 6 laps that equals the 2.4km. I have always been active, I did a lot of mountain biking but recently I'm struggling.
I know this bit is gonna sound odd, with reference to food, on the morning of the run, what do you eat? Protein based foods? High releasing energy that's slow like oats? Just want to know whether it's worth taking some of those glucose shots to boost my energy on the day.
Thanks for reading, please don't slam me as it's a similar topic, I am a newbie but I am to be a Golly in the RN.
happy new year by the way, take care
