*****Message from Rahul Verghese - www.runningandliving.com******
I am enclosing a document which outlines some basic do's and don'ts before the marathon -
Would be great if you can read it to make your experience even more enjoyable, and perhaps add a tip of your own, to help more runners, going forward. A lot of you are coming in from a colder climate to Mumbai - remember to definitely start slower than your target race pace - it's very easy to get carried away by the energy of the moment - DON'T.
Post Mahalaxmi chuck the remaining water post your 1-2 sips, on your head to keep you cool
Have an energy gel every 45 minutes or so. Drink the electrolyte every hour or so, perhaps not at every stop. DO NOT overhydrate with water - Hyponatremia is a condition where marathoners take in too much water and reduce the salt balance andget dizzt, sometimes also leads to muscle twitches and perhapscramps. IF you feel dizzy or nauseous, stop and get help - start again only if you are feeling A OK. Above all, keep your mind full of those positive thoughts and enjoy yourself.
Go get them guys!!
