Pre-race tips:
 
1. Remember to have a good sleep the night before and take it easy on Saturday morning to make sure you line up on the start well rested.
2. Have a larger breakfast and lighter lunch. During the day consume healthy balanced meals and stay away from heavy fast foods and sweets!
3. Keep yourself well hydrated two days before the race by drinking plenty of water, staying away from soft drinks and juices.
4. If you are feeling unwell don't put pressure on yourself to race. Come down and watch the Zayed Marathon from the sideline and enjoy the entertainment!
