Preparing for the HK100

Running 100 kilometers on trails requires careful preparation. Here are some practical tips to get ready:

Build Endurance Gradually

Start with shorter trail runs and increase your distance over time. Incorporate back-to-back long runs on weekends to simulate race fatigue.

Train on Similar Terrain

Hong Kong’s trails include some steep climbs and technical descents. Practice on hills and uneven surfaces to build strength and agility. Particularly you might want to focus on tackling staircases which might be less common in your geography.

Focus on Nutrition and Hydration

Experiment with different foods and drinks during training to find what works best for you. The HK100 provides aid stations, but knowing your needs helps avoid issues on race day.

Gear Up Properly

Choose trail running shoes with good grip and support. Carry essentials such as a hydration pack, energy gels, and weather-appropriate clothing.

Mental Preparation

Ultramarathons challenge your mind as much as your body. Develop strategies to stay motivated and manage discomfort during the race.

Wishing you the best of luck in the coming race!
