Tip of the Month
by UPMC Health Plan "No matter what the level of ability, you have more potential than you can develop in a lifetime."
(James T. McCay) Water and fuel demands increase as your running distance increases. Have about one-half cup of fluids every twenty minutes and a snack of simple carbohydrates (such as sports gels, packets of honey, and energy drinks), every 45 minutes. Avoid fiber, protein and fat because these take longer to digest and can cause stomach cramps. For recovery nutrition, don't forget that real food can be just as good as, if not better than, sports bars and powders. |
RELAY SHUTTLES
Shuttle service will be provided to and from the marathon relay exchanges for runners on Sunday, May 2. Once you have completed your leg of the relay, shuttles will be available to return you to the finish line to cheer on your relay team. Runners are asked to arrive early to ensure they are positioned at the relay exchange zone on time. Spectators and volunteers are welcome to use the shuttle buses; however, transporting runners to/from the relay exchange zones are the first priority. Times and locations of relay shuttles will be posted once they are finalized.
