🎯 Training Considerations for This Race

⛰️

Hill Training Required

With 1,850m of elevation gain, incorporate hill repeats 1-2x per week. Focus on both uphill power and controlled downhill running.

🌧️

Rain Likely

There's a 45% chance of rain on race day. Train in wet conditions. Use body glide to prevent chafing and consider a light hat with brim.
