How do athletes prepare for a race?

Answer 1

When preparing for a sports event it is important to keep in mind physical fitness, nutrition, sleep, and of course skill. Practice is important to maintain and improve skill, and they say you have to do something 10000 times before you actually know it and it becomes an instinct. It is important to figure out which muscles you need for your sport and to train all of your muscles but focus on those. Should you be training cardio (running) or for fast bursts of movement (for example with sprinting intervals). Make sure to warm up, cool down and stretch your muscles! It is important to monitor what you eat to be at your best, and research and eat properly both before and after a workout. After a workout it is important to eat some protein. Stay hydrated. You should be drinking water often all the time, but this is especially important in the week before the even. Sleeping well is important too and not to be neglected!
