Benefits of trail racing at Cumberland

trail racesTrail racing has so many benefits that it is perhaps one of the top exercises that you can do for yourself. The best part about racing on the trail is that not only are you working out but you were also adventuring, breathing in fresh air, and taking in beautiful sites. You’re really knocking off two birds with one stone by taking this up as a new hobby.
Most people get highly discouraged after going to the gym for a couple weeks. When you were trail racing it is always a new experience and it never feels like a workout. This allows you to be very healthy without feeling like it is a chore. If you were to keep up with walking on the trails for a couple of weeks, you will experience major benefits in both mind and body.
Science has very clearly shown that exercise is the key to happiness and much healthier life. It feels so refreshing when you can go out in the middle of the woods and escape your modern stresses or fears. When you take a step away from your desk, your office, or even just your life there’s a feeling of being rejuvenated or refreshed.
If you can let go and let your mind wander while you were adventuring through the park, new were taking all sorts of sites. If you are an animal lover then this will be your new home.

What you should eat before the trail race

When trying to figure out a diet for the race make sure that you embark that same diet during your training. Some athletes switch up their diet right before the race and their body reacts negatively to the new diet. We suggest having protein some carbs and eating a lot of greens before you begin racing. Make sure that you stay hydrated both during your training and before you get to Cumberland. Remember that you will be sweating a lot and we will have very limited water boots throughout the trail race. Most athletes do bring portable water bottles that strap onto their belt and they can sip on during the entire race. You might be thinking that bringing waters a bad idea because it is added way and it may drag you down, even though this is true we highly advise you to bring water to keep hydrated. We believe it is easier to carry a little bit more weight than to go the entire race with very limited water supply. Our athletes have thanked us for this advice. And we believe so will you.

Good attire to wear before you race in Cumberland

Cumberland never really gets too cold if you’re from the north states. We advise that you come in a hoodie so you are nice and warm. But do not let our one temperatures throughout the day fool you into thinking that it’s warm the entire night. When the sunsets it gets quite cool and our spectators are always in long sleeves and possibly hoodie, we’ve even seen people wear hats. If you are participating in the race then you will be moving and you will be warm so there’s no need for a hoodie. However if you have under armor or something that is long sleeves then you may wish to bring it. Our local tree specialist (http://www.olivebranchtree.com/) usually keeps everything nicely trimmed and prepared for our visitors. Sometimes the tree’s will be cut and you’ll notice yourself getting cold whenever the wind picks up. If you are from the southern states then maybe this will be colder than what you were used to. In that case make sure that you have some kind of under armor long sleeve clothing at your disposal.
