Weather The weather forecast for the Pudsey 10k, could be warm. Here are some tips to make sure you’re fully prepared for your race:  Before Race Day In the lead-up to race day, make sure you’re drinking plenty of water to keep your fluids up (do be careful however not to over hydrate)  Set Realistic Expectations Warm conditions are not ideal for setting a PB or hitting ambitious time goals.  Consider a race strategy that allows for a comfortable and safe finish: slow your pace and walk or rest when you need to.  On Race Day Dress appropriately. Choose lightweight, sweat-wicking clothing in cool colours (avoid black). Don’t forget a hat and shades. Don’t over-exert yourself. If you’re feeling uncomfortably hot, slow down. Don’t over-drink. Drink when you are thirsty and no more.  Carry water. There will be a water station at approximately 5k and at the end of the race.  If you don’t feel right stop at the nearest marshall or ask another runner to notify a marshall  on course who can help you seek assistance. Evaluate yourself throughout the run – if you experience headaches, confusion, or muscle cramps, stop and seek help. For further information please email 10kentries@pudseypacers.com
