Hit the 'Wall'


what to do if you hit "the wall" during your race:
You use to heard runners say ‘hit the wall’ and this is your worst nightmare as is one of the worst places you will ever find yourself during your race.

This is when your glycogen levels almost depleted and You are struggling to take one step forward. Your legs feel as if Tons of weights on your body and you just about 7 – 5km to the finishing line.

Normally its will start at the 35km marks , some may hit earlier as 30km.
Therefore if you have properly carbo yourselves during the week and have pace yourself , chances of hitting the wall will be reduced If you hit the wall, try not to stop, it time for your mental game, tell yourself that you are going to finish the race and it only a matter of time until you finish. This will sure works as I tried before and also find someone along the way and chat as this will let you to forget the pain. Keep Focusing the finishing line and I'm sure when you cross the line, It will be happiest moment as you are the winner.
