Before the race, you want to be working on sort of hip flexion drills, putting a band around your feet and then standing, holding onto the wall and just driving your knee up towards your chest. You also want to work on some calf exercises, so hands on the wall, standing back slightly so you're at a slight angle and then driving up onto your toes.

A couple of stretches post-race that you'd want to work on. Hip flexor stretches, calf stretches, and then just sort of trying to mobilize your back. If this is like your first longer race, then definitely working on just doing some hip flexor glides after. So coming into a kneeling position and then just letting your body glide your knee over your toes.

And then just going through some more traditional calf stretches and lower back stretches. And as well, you could use your foam roller or your massage gun.

If it's one of your longer races for the first time in a while, or you're just new to running, or even if you are experienced, then taking a few days off post run is definitely a good idea. Making sure you get in lots of nutrition after the run. Eating and fueling after a run is one of the most important things ahead of all the stretching and recovery work that you do.

And then also making sure that you rehydrate a lot post race and the next couple of days as well.
