Keep your routine tight. Train hard, but keep the volume steady: run a few times a week, add hill repeats and short sprints for power. Make sure your meals are simple and steady—protein, carbs, a bit of fat, and plenty of water. Sleep is your best ally; aim for seven to eight hours. When the race comes, pace yourself at the start, stay calm, and push through the tough spots like you would a siege. Hydrate during the event; a quick sip of electrolytes can keep your muscles from cramping. Stay focused, stick to the plan, and you’ll finish stronger than you started.

Sounds good. Stick to the hill work, keep the smoothie simple, and don’t overdo the rest. When the race starts, stay calm, keep your pace, and finish strong. We'll get that finish line.
