Two Oceans Half Marathon (What NOT To Do In Race Week)

Race week is here.
And here’s what you need to hear…

👉 You’re not getting fitter this week.

The work is done.
Now it’s about protecting it.

That means:
✔️ Don’t test yourself
✔️ Don’t cram in extra training
✔️ Don’t try anything new
✔️ Don’t overcomplicate your nutrition

Instead, focus on what actually matters:
✔️ Sleep
✔️ Nutrition
✔️ Hydration
✔️ Reducing stress

Because this week isn’t about gaining fitness…
It’s about arriving at the start line ready to express it.

And if you feel nervous?
Good.

That just means it matters.

Trust your training.
Stick to your plan.
And go enjoy your race 💙
