===Muscular Fatigue===
* [[Downhill Running]] can build up muscular endurance.
* Extending the [[Long Run|long runs ]] to greater distances or running at closer to race pace can better prepare the muscles.
* Taking in more carbohydrate, or [[Protein]]+carbohydrate may help protect the muscles see [[When to eat Energy Gels in the Marathon]].
* [[Caffeine]] can mitigate some of the weakness associated with [[Muscle|muscle ]] fatigue.
===Fuel===
* Drink to satisfy your thirst. You may have to slow down at [[Aid Stations]] to take on adequate fluid. The seconds you save by not drinking can be lost later in the race due to dehydration.
* Beware [[Hyponatremia]] and make sure your electrolyte intake is adequate.
