Mushers decide a plan for where to spend the 24 hour and 8 hour rest stops and send supplies to the checkpoints because of their plan.
Mushers also decide on a run rest schedule for the race. Mushers train their dogs and during the race the dogs can run so many miles at a time because of how the dogs were trained. Mushers set up a run rest run rest schedule.
Mushers who stick to their plan and their schedule usually find success and do their best in the race.
