6. Beware the 24-hour wall. After a big event many athletes find it difficult to sleep as they are still wound up from all the adrenaline. I have found it to be almost exactly 24 hours after the end of a race when I “crash and burn” and suddenly turn into a tired and cranky 2-year-old. Don’t plan any ambitious activities for 24–48 hours post-race.
