Preparing for State

The day and even the week before the state meet can be very important to how you are able to perform at the state meet. I think it is very important because what you eat or drink or your ability to stay healthy before state can impact how you run at the state meet.

If you want to run the best you can at the state meet it’s important to watch what you are doing the week before. It’s very important to stay hydrated and drink lots of water because you don’t want to be dehydrated at the state meet. You also want to make sure you are eating healthier foods. You don’t want to be eating lots of junk food and sweets the week before state. If you are eating unhealthy and not staying hydrated before state it could cause you to run slower times.

You also want to make sure you are trying to stay healthy. Taking vitamins and avoiding other people who may be sick could help prevent you from getting sick as well. It is not fun to run when you are sick. When you’re sick you have less energy even a few days after being sick. You also want to try to avoid getting injured because many injuries will prevent you from running at state.  The week before state you should try to drink plenty of water, eat healthier and take vitamins so you are ready to run at state and can run your best.
