Train\, Train\, Train!\nThe key to success with Ragnar So Cal is to train hard and consistently leading up to the event. Start with basic trail runs and gradually increase mileage and elevation gain as the event approaches. It’s important to get used to running on uneven terrain\, as well as running at night and in other less-than-ideal conditions. Focus on your strengths and weaknesses\, whether that means distance\, elevation\, or speed\, and make sure to incorporate a variety of runs and cross-training to keep things interesting. \n[optin-monster slug=”u9ogigt36k4zbwkxi5az” followrules=”true”] \n2.

Prepare for the Elements\nSouthern California can be unpredictable when it comes to weather conditions.

Make sure to also pack plenty of water and food\, as you’ll be burning plenty of calories and need to stay hydrated throughout the event. \n4. Pace Yourself\nRagnar So Cal is a marathon\, not a sprint. Don’t try to push yourself too hard at the beginning and burn out before the end.
