On the day before the race (it is usually an orienteering race) I jog for about 20 minutes as well + some strides, also fuel my body and have a schedule for the race day (wake up time...). Then I try to sum up the strategy of the race, mentally, technically and physically.

By the way, I really like your channel and the videos that you make, they give me motivation if I'm feeling low and en extra of motivation if I'm already motivated. Looking forward to seeing the next video! :)

I am a competitive equestrian (I do Eventing), it was really affirming to hear your mental tips! With horses, all the gear, the atmosphere of the competition, being outside, travel, there is SO MUCH that is out of your control and that is distracting, zapping your mental energy. Hearing you repeat different ways to save your mental energy was very helpful. And yes, we cannot spend mental energy on things that are not important! Thank you.

Love the talk about nutrition. Your insights are, as always, spot on and a lot of people would get a lot more out of their running if the ate and drank correctly. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the great scenery and inspiration along the way. You always have a beautiful smile and positive energy!

I really like this video and what you talked about. Especially the use of mental energy and stress. I like that you kept the topics short. You should make another video about post race!

Great video as always, hope to see the Redbull race in the next one! When you got stuck in traffic and talked about things that are out of your hand it reminded me of a thing that happened a long time ago, I was about 19, I was driving to a competition in the south of Sweden, I borrowed my dads car and somehow scratched it along a railing, not the best way to prepare for the competition.

Love your videos, they're really professional but probably my favourite thing is your enthusiasm for running, which I share too!

Hope it goes well. Thanks again for the great content and insight. Pigging backing on an earlier comment about packing, having options for ultras in the mountains is essential. Even if you think it’s going to be warm, don’t bank on it. I ran an ultra in Canmore, AB today and it started with short sleeves and sun, by 30km in it was snow and hail. A lot of ppl appeared to be suffering.

The importance of packing your racing gear cannot be emphasized enough! :D I'm always amazed how many things I need to pack for a race next day.

You only need a pair of shoes for running. Yeah, right...

It needs someone to have big "balls"to motivate himself in such depressive weather or atmosphere and run !!I couldn't myself! WELL done bro for the courage and willness you show!!Greetings from Athens!

I normally take it easy the last 2 days before the race and especially the night before, but sometimes you have that kind of "anxiety" before a race day and maybe you did not get as much sleep as you should but in the end is ok. In terms of food, I get some pasta / rice and think ahead of my breakfast for the next day (coffee / some bread with jam / yoghurt with granola). I think this time I will use a bit of massage gun and do some stretching.

Race day coming next weekend. Marathon here I go!

Great video Göran and methodical preparation - the point about writing things down so that you don't have to carry it around in your head is excellent. I also try to visualize the race and how I will feel at different points on the course, look over elevation profiles and make some notes, of course for your event here it's pretty obvious how you will feel :)

[AnthonyConstable]

Writing down the plan is a good tip. I feel that running the day before is mostly down to personal preference re: what makes you FEEL most fresh.

Who doesnt like "RACEins" with their oats the day before the race🤠

[EvaGiannina]

Very good tips.. to my first half marathon and marathon I ate too much the day before, now I have learned to listen to my body, eat normal and nothing new, I ran Stockholm marathon on Saturday, haven’t been to Stockholm in 2 years and I wanted to try so much food but I didn’t .. Duktigt

It would be great to see another video on your general nutrition. :)
