Your race simulation is the most important workout you do before your race is a simulation. Regardless of your sport, preparing for race day isn’t just about fitness, it’s about execution. Skip a few critical early steps, and your race will be full of turbulence.

When you are ready to go to the next level, you need to move beyond the logistics of the race. Now we begin to talk about the environment. Each race brings its own set of conditions that you need to prepare for. Elevation, weather, course layout, resources on the course, equipment required, time of day, duration of the event…you get the idea!

Here’s our five step framework to make your next race simulation the best possible.

1. Macro Course Review – Distance, Athlete Guide / Build Into Your Plan

2. Check the Weather – View History / Schedule Key Workouts

3. Micro Course Review – Key Sections / Replicate

4. Nutrition + Gear Planning – Test Your Execution

5. Write + Review – Create, Test and Review Your Plan
