Photos from Knee Knacker Information Night
Some of the many take aways from Knee Knacker Information Night held on Monday, March 10th:
- Do not eat/wear anything new on race day
- Socks are underrated sports gear
- Preventative chaffing solutions
- Train to mimic the race terrain
- Cross training is good
- Have a “finger list” before hitting an aid station
- Training runs = “time on your feet”
- Test your gear and fuel intake on training runs, not on race day.
- Bears and cougars sighting have occurred (though rarely)
- “See food” diet 2 days before race day, not the day before
- Two recovery hints: chocolate milk and compression socks
- Hawaiian shirts are acceptable race attire 🙂
- and many more.
Many thanks to Solana Klassen, Patricia Jensen, Ean Jackson and Gary Robbins for sharing their trail running and training tips and Jed Ashton for trail footwear.
