Race wisely to achieve your personal best.
You've trained for your peak race for months. When the big day
comes, how will you perform? All the training in the world is

approach race day with the right attitude.
Whether you are new to racing or have been frustrated by
underperformance or setbacks, Racing Wisely gives you tools-from
the practical to the philosophical-to perform to the best of your
ability. You'll learn how to:
*Choose the right race for your personal strengths
*Test yourself in training to identify the right race pace and
effort
*Write a race plan that helps you feel calm, prepared, and in
control
*Manage your energy in the week, days, and hours before the
race
*Warm up properly to race at your best
*Pace correctly for races of every distance
*Race for a personal-best time, or race competitively for
place
*Recover physically and mentally to set up your next personal best

-from the foreword by Matt Fitzgerald, author of "Racing Weight"
and "The New Rules of Marathon and Half Marathon Nutrition"
"Runners spend so much time on training: week after week after
week. Sometimes, it seems that that's all we talk about. But the
end goal is the race. Unfortunately, we don't always put in the
same dedication to planning a successful race as we do planning our
training. Racing Wisely provides that often missing ingredient of
race preparation and will help runners put all their great training
to good use when it counts-the race. Sage Rountree understands
performance, and this guide will prove invaluable for goal-oriented
athletes."
-Greg McMillan, coach, McMillan Running, and author of "YOU (Only
Faster)"
""Racing Wisely" delivers exactly what you hope for from a smart
yogi-runner-triathlete: thoughtful insight about goals, intentions,
and actions told in an engagingly conversational, down-to-earth
style. I love that this book offers practical and philosophical
advice for the whole spectrum of athletes, from serious goal-driven
competitors to more experiential but just as passionate casual
athletes. A great addition to the thinking runner's library."
-Tish Hamilton, Executive Editor, "Runner's World"
