Running Tip No.4
Aid Stations – Treat 'Em Like a Drive-Through!
Alright, ultra warriors, let’s talk about refuelling on the go. When you hit those aid stations, remember: they’re pit stops, not pit lounges. Here's the friendly, funny lowdown on how to handle them like a pro:
Imagine you’re at a drive-through. You grab your coffee and snack, but you don’t sit down and order a full fry-up and three lattes, right? The same goes for aid stations!
Quick Pit Stop Rules:
In and Out: Grab what you need—a quick snack or a sip of water—and keep moving. Think of it as a fast and efficient pit stop in a race car.
No Lounging: Avoid the temptation to plop down and relax. Sitting can make it hard to get going again. Plus, those chairs can be way too comfy!
Stay Focused: Refill your bottles, snag a banana, and return to the trail. The goal is to keep your momentum going, not to open a five-star restaurant.
So, remember, when you see that aid station, channel your inner drive-through customer. Fast, efficient, and back on the road! Happy trails and speedy refuels!
