>>> SKIT FINALLY HERE TO THE
GATE RIVER RUN IS 48 HOURS AWAY.
FOR THE PAST SIX WEEK WE'VE BEEN
HELP YOUNG PREPARE FOR THE 15K.
WE'VE COVERED TRAINING, WHAT TO
EAT WHAT TO WEAR WHAT NOT TO
WEAR AND COMMON INJURIES THAT
RUNNERS L TEND TO SUFFER AS THEY
TRAIN.
AND MELANIE, RACE IS ON
SATURDAY.
I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN OUT THERE
HITTING THE PAVEMENT, TOO,
GETTING READY.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE READY?
>> I THINK SO.
ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU'RE NEVER
REALLY READY INTILL YOU DO IT
BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET TO RUN
THEEEN MONSTER UNTIL THE DAY OF
THE RACE.
BUT IT IS GOOD.
I FELT REALLY GOOD TODAY.
I HAVEERIN WITH ME, SHE'S BEEN
MY TRAINER FOR THE PAST SIX
WEEKS.
WE MISSED A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
AND CHRISTIE ZUNIGA WHO RAN WITH
US TODAY AND YOU'VE BEEN
TRAINING WITH THE YMCA PROGRAM
AND YOU STARTED AT 10-MINUTE
MILE WHICH IT MEAN IT TOOK HER
10-MINUTE TO GET THROUGH THE
MINE AND 9:15.
THAT IS TREMENDOUS CHANGE IN SIX
WEEKS.
AND WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT
PUSHING OURSELVES OURSELVES AND ERIN,
TODAY YOU PUSHED US TOWARDS THE
END.
THAT WAS OUR FASTEST MILE.
>>> DEFINITELY KNEW WE HAD TO BE
BACK HERE.
TRYING TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT THAT LAST QUARTER TO HALF
MILE IS REALLY GOING TO FEEL
LIKE IN THE RACE.
>>> IT FEELS GOOD.
>> FEELS GREAT.
SO WE DID ABOUT HALF OF THE
GATE.
WE DID ABOUT HALF OF IT AND WE
WOULD HAVE NEEDED A LITTLE BIT
MORE TO GET THROUGH THE
9.3 MILES.
I WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT PREPARING FOR IT.
BECAUSE THIS IS WHEN PEOPLE WHO
HAVE NEVER RUN START TO -- RACED
BEFORE TART TO GET THE JITTERS,
CAN I GET THROUGH SIT IN HAVE I
TRAINED ENOUGH?
THE ANSWER IS YES.
SLOW DOWN, YOU KNOW, DON'T FEEL
LIKE YOU HAVE TO RUN OUT THE
GATE JUST BOOKING IT.
>>> ABSOLUTELY, THE SEE TO BE
CONFIDENT IN YOUR TRAINING.
YOU'RE GOING THE BE TREMENDOUS
FOR WHAT YOU'VE TRAINED FOR.
THIS IS THE FINAL WEEK.
WE'RE DOWN TO OUR LAST TWO DAYS.
SLOW DOWN, DON'T GO OUT AND TRY
TO RUN YOUR 15K AND BE
ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT IN YOUR
TRAINING.
>> YOU HAVEN'T DONE IT IN A
COUPLE OF YEARS, THE FIRST TIME
I EVER DID MY 15K I WAS
INTIMIDATED WITH THE PEOPLE.
DOES THAT AFFECT YOU AT ALL?
I FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO THINK
ABILITY HOW THE ADRENALINE
YOU'RE GOING FEEL AND KIND OF
THAT NERVOUSNESS BEING AROUND
OTHER PEOPLE.
>>> THIS IS DEFINITELY A CROWDED
RACE, BUT THE CROWD IS REALLY
GREAT AND THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE OUT CHEERING FOR YOU AND
HELPS PUSH YOU THROUGH.
>> YOU TALKED ABOUT AT THE VERY
END ONCE YOU GET OVER THE HEART
BRIDGE AND GOING DOWNHILL AND
THE CROWDS ARE GOING THROUGH IT
AND GETS YOU THROUGH.
HYDRATION.
WE TALK ABOUT THAT A LOT.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE HYDRATED BUT
NOT OVER HYDRATED.
IO YOU WANT TO DRINK NO MORE
THAN 8-OUNCES EVERY HOUR.
IN YOU OVERHYDRATE YOU CAN FLUSH
THE SODIUM OUT OF YOUR BODY AND
HAVE PROBLEMS ALONG THE COURSE.
>> WHEN URINING A LOT OF TIMES
YOU HAVE OPTIONS LIKE ORANGES,
YOU HAVE BEER, YOU HAVE MIMOSAS,
BUT YOU DO WANT TO GRAB THE
WATER AT THE WATER STATION.
>>> GRAB THE WATER, EVERY YOU
WANT TO GRAB GATORADE TO
REPLENISH THOSE ELECTRIC LITS
AND SODIUM.
>>> AND THEN, I HAVE FAMILY
COMING IN TOWN BECAUSE THEY'RE
RUNNING WITH ME.
I'M LIKE, GO TO BED.
LAST YEAR I WAS LIKE GO TO BED.
YOU WANT TO GET YOUR SLEEP, BUT
YOU DID POINT OUT, DON'T SLEEP
TOO LONG.
WHY IS THAT?
>>> YOUR BODY, YOU WANT TO DO
WHAT YOU'RE USED TO, AGAINS LIKE
ALL OF THIS TAPING YOU'VE BEEN
DOING.
WE'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR SIX
WEEKS NOW, DO WHAT YOU'RE USED
TO.
>>> DON'T GO TO BED TOO EARLY,
YOU MIGHT WAKE UP SUPER EARLY
AND MIGHT BE OFF YOUR GAME BY
THE TIME THE RUN STARTS.
>>> CONSERVE AS MUCH ENERGY AS
YOU CAN BEFORE THE RACE.
FRIDAY, MAYBE JUST DO LIKE A
MILE RUN, JUST SOMETHING VERY
SIMPLE.
DON'T OVER EXERT YOURSELF BUT DO
A LITTLE SOMETHING, DON'T GO
OVERBOARD.
>>> ONEB TO TWO MILES MAYBE JUST
A SLOW, EASY SHAKE-OUT RUN, MAKE
SURE YOUR BLOOD IS FLOWING AND
MUSCLES ARE LOOSE.
THEY TIGHTEN UP AND THEN THEY'RE
NOT READY.
>>> STRETCH A LITTLE BIT BEFORE.
THAT IS ALWAYS SO FUN TO WATCH
HOW PEOPLE STRETCH.
SOME PEOPLE RUN REALLY FAST AND
OTHERS ARE LIKE ON THE GROUND
STRETCHING.
KNOW WHAT ASK GOOD FOR YOU.
THIS IS A FUN RUN.
IT IS NOT A RACET YOU'RE NOT
GOING THE WIN, I'M SORRY, MOST
LIKELY NOT GOING WIN BUT BE
CONFIDENT, KNOW THAT 7 ROOTING
