Peak race prep in Saratoga: even the fastest legs donât skip alignment day đ
Whether you're watching the race from the stands or your local bar, make sure you're not ruining your progress in the process!
â˘Donât lock your knees while standing aroundâyour low back will collect the bill later
â˘If youâre in heels or dress shoes, switch positions often (your spine hates âstuckâ)
â˘Take quick movement breaksâwalk, stretch, reset your posture every so often
â˘Keep your phone at eye level when checking race updates (text neck is undefeated)
â˘If youâre at a bar, donât hunch over the counter the whole timeâstack ribs over hips
â˘Hydrate more than you think you need (dehydration = tighter muscles + worse posture control)
Championship energy on the track, but your back still has to make it home afterward.
