Training tips:
- Taper time! It is too late to cram in more km’s. It’s time to rest, put in some fine-tuning in with short sharp runs.
- Test your gear – do a couple of runs with the pack and the shoes you will be running in.
- Test your food. You don’t want to be trying new things on race day.
- Do a night run or two. It is important to know what expect after the sun sets on the 13th October. Test your batteries and headlamps.
