Welcome to the one race you won’t want to end. A race so rock ‘n’ roll, the mile

markers are rock bands. Because what’s the point of running if you just want it to

end? Here, you might not break the tape, but the podium isn’t the point. Life is a

journey and running should be a celebration.

Three-time Kona World Champion MIRINDA “RINNY” CARFRAEis no stranger to challenging workouts training 35 hours per week, including running up to 60 miles over six days at the peak of the season. Here, Rinny shares her tips for training and recovery and how she overcomes the mental and physical blocks.

RUNNING TIPS FOR OPTIMAL TRAINING BY ELITE ATHLETE

MIRINDA “RINNY” CARFRAE

What’s your favorite thing about running?MC: “For me, running is relaxing, especially when you’re really fit. I do a lot of runs in the evening around sunset, which I find therapeutic. It’s time I have for myself, to focus on my own goals and thoughts.”

Any tips for new runners training for their first half or full marathon?MC: “It’s easy to get hung up on your pace and how fast or slow you’re going. I find that focusing on the overall time you spend running rather than the number of miles takes the pressure off of worrying about the distance and pace. Be sure you have a training plan. Mapping it out really helps you focus on the smaller goals to take the necessary steps to condition your body and best prepare for race day. And most of all, be smart about your training and listen to your body.”

How do you break through the mental and physical blocks?MC: “When I’m tired or feeling down run down, I try to think positive thoughts, knowing that all of the training will be worth it and pay off on race day. I find it helps to focus on the little things when you start to hit the wall…breathing, pacing, hydrating and fueling properly. While it’s important to keep your eye on the end goal, be sure to have small check points along the way. Overall, I prefer to know I gave it my best and gave 100%. You’ll notice it becomes second nature to push through the bumps in training.”

Long distance runners lose a lot of sweat and necessary nutrients making recovery crucial to building muscle and staying physically strong. Any tips on how to best recover after a long run? MC: “The 30 minutes right after strenuous exercise is the most crucial time to recover and replenish what you’ve lost. Lowfat chocolate milk is a great and easy option and I’ve been recovering with it for years. You can find it anywhere, from your supermarket or corner store, and it has the right mix of carbohydrates and high quality protein. It’s also got your electrolytes, sodium, potassium; elements you lose when you’re sweating. It’s a great little formula, and wholesome, simple and lowfat.”

Has the right mix of protein and carbs, scientifically shown to refuel exhausted muscles and help return to peak potential

Provides fluids and electrolytes - like calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium - to rehydrate and help replenish critical nutrients lost in sweat

Lowfat Chocolate Milk:

Respect the Distance

For many of you, this will be your first marathon or half marathon. Whether this is your first or fiftieth race, congratulations on your commitment to fitness and a healthy lifestyle! Whether you choose to run, walk or just rock, the following tips will help to ensure you have a fun and safe Rock ‘n’ Roll experience.

TRAIN

It’stoolatetostartnow,butyou need to respect the distance

you’ve chosen to walk or run. There are many different training

programs available to you. Be sure you chose one that had you completeatleast2/3oftherace

distance several times during yourtrainingperiod.Ifnot,

slow down and participate at a comfortable pace.

HyDRATE

Ifyouhavenotcalculatedyourfluidneedsforthisrace,therearetwo strategies which will ensure

you don’t under or over-hydrate. The easiest is to only drink when youarethirsty.Ifyouwanttobealittlemorescientific,limitfluid

intake to 4-8 oz of sports drink every20minutes.

SALT

Losing salt through sweating and complex hormone changes

during exercise can result in lowering your serum [blood]

sodium level. This will not only affect your performance, it

may lead to muscle cramping, headache, dizziness and

confusion. Have some sports drink along the course to

quench your thirst, or follow your pre-planned schedule.

PLEASE

Fill out the medical information section on the back of your bib number. While serious medical

problems are quite rare, knowing any medical problems you have,

medications you are taking or allergies to medications is

extremely helpful to our Medical Volunteers. Our goal is to treat all

of our athletes like Rock Stars.

If you have questions, stop by the Rock ‘n’ Roll Sports Medicine Team booth at the Expo or visit one of our Medical Tents on race day.We would be happy to assist you. Have fun, be smart, and stay within your limits. In other words, Rock On…
