We are getting close to some big fall races from Berlin to NYC and Indy, and it is time to lock in (as the kids say). In this episode, I give you 6 tips for your final prep, so you are ready to put your best foot forward on race day!

If you are racing in the fall between September and December, then it is never too early to start thinking about your race plan. You prepare in training, and you also want to prepare your plan for the big day.

In this episode, I give you 8 steps to build your plan:

1. Select your goal pace.
2. Gather information about the race course.
3. Break the course down into 3-6 chunks that make sense.
4. Develop a strategy for each section of the course.
5. Translate that strategy into a pace by mile.
6. Layer in the finer course details and also nutrition and hydration.
7. Visualize your plan.
8. Execute the plan and then learn from it.

What will your plan be to smash your goal?
