May FitView Fitness Tips It’s best to run a few miles on a new pair of running shoes prior to racing in them. Always make sure your bike is tuned up prior to any cycling event you’ve invested in. Make sure you’ve acclimated yourself to the weather conditions that might be happening on race day. Take in some water as needed and/or some kind of electrolyte sport drink every 30-miles. It’s a good idea to carry both (water and an electrolyte sport drink) for rides longer then 30-miles. Always make sure you’ve gotten the green light from your Doctor before starting any kind of exercise program or endurance event.
