The training is done and your bag is packed, but whether you're running your first race or your 50th, there are always some little tweaks you can make before, during and after to make the whole experience that little bit easier and more pleasant.
I'm not talking about obvious things like laying out you kit before bed, checking out the race profile, or wearing sunscreen. These are the little tricks I've picked up through years of mass-participation events. They might not boost your times, but you'll be glad you knew about them.
