G.A.S Girls 6 Tips On How To Survive An Adventure Race:
1 - Choose Your Teammates Well - Ideally, your teammates are people you know well and have done a good amount of training with, but whether this is possible or not for your team there is one thing that will always get you through - Communication! Make sure you all have the same goal. Train together when you can and make decisions together right from the early days. You want to be in those tough spots with willing friends, not new enemies. So make sure you talk about your goals well in advance and that they align!
2 - Get You Head In The Navigation Game! - Basic map reading skills are a must for at least 2 members of your team. We recommend building or refreshing your skills and then putting them into practice any chance you get! Don’t get us wrong… getting temporarily misplaced is part of the fun of adventure racing, but having to be pulled off course after all of your training prep is rough! Check out our upcoming Christchurch & Dunedin Clinic’s HERE.
3 - Get Used To Eating And Drinking On The Go - For any Training Sessions over an hour you need to start thinking about your nutrition. Practice your intake during your longer sessions and work out what feels good in the system while you are moving!
P.S. Don't forget to eat and drink regularly - we don’t need HANGRY!
4 - Know How To Maintain A Moderate Level Of Suffering (for a long period of time) - This is key when it comes to completing an Adventure Race. So train well to build up your physical and mental resilience! Make sure the body and head are in the game to get through whatever gets thrown at you on Race Day.
5 - Find Gear That Works For You - It doesn’t have to be the latest and greatest, you just need to know your gear, practice and train with it! You can get 4 Seasons in one day even with a Summer Race so check your Event’s Gear List and then make your own list. Get out and train with it all, so you know it works for you!
6 - Have Fun! - This is probably the most important! You signed up for an Adventure Race because it’s an awesome event to be a part of so enjoy every part of it - The training, the team chats and especially Race Day! Treat it as an adventure rather than a race. If you treat it like this, you will love it!

AUTUMN/WINTER TRAINING TIPS!
#1 DON’T BE AFRAID TO ADJUST YOUR TRAINING SESSIONS
Don’t be afraid to change around your training days to work in with the weather. Keep an eye on the forecast and get your outside sessions done on those magic Autumn days. If that isn’t an option for you, and it’s bucketing down, then don’t stress about changing your cycling/running/walking sessions to the wind trainer, indoor bike or treadmill. You are much better off getting something done than nothing!
#2 FIND A SHORT TERM GOAL
Find a small event to do, challenge yourself to find a new Personal Best with your 5km time or push your strength work and find some new exercises that you can see your gains in. This will help you stay focused throughout the cooler months.
#3 INVEST IN SOME WARM GEAR AND A GOOD RAIN JACKET
Give yourself no excuses for the cold and the rain. Get yourself some warm thermals, merino socks, gloves and a lightweight rain jacket so you can keep your sessions consistent!
#4 DON’T SKIP YOUR STRENGTH TRAINING DAYS
Off Season Training is a great time to make gains in your strength, power and target any imbalances the body has. Make it priority and focus your exercises around your core and glutes!
#5 FIND A TRAINING BUDDY TO KEEP YOU TURNING UP
You are much less likely to bail on a friend! So as the days get colder and darker, find a training buddy, strength session and/or run group to keep you consistent and accountable
