Training Strategies from Tylenol 8 Hour

We all want to put our best foot forward on race day. While the elements of weather and good old fashioned luck can't be predicted, there are strategies that can be practiced in training to help get you the results you desire.

Establish a pre-race ritual of what and when you will eat and drink. Determine the foods and fluids you are most comfortable with before your training runs. Don't try anything new before a race. This includes use of a pain reliever. Remember that Tylenol® 8 Hour is an effective choice for the big day and has an excellent safety profile.

Healthy Kids

The MCM Kids Newsletter has event news, fun facts, bib number assignments and wave start information for the Healthy Kids Fun Run.
