Race day tomorrow – what to wear, what to wear?

What to wear for a half marathon in February on the coast is relatively easy to decide. Layers, lots of layers. And this time around something long on my legs. Didn’t see the right choice when huddled together in a pack, settled from the wind, and basking in the sun waiting for the off. But when the pack thinned and I headed into that biting wind – oh yeah, boy was I glad.

Now a May run in London? Although I have broken into the shorts but it’s been a cold few weeks. However, weather is looking good – very good for tomorrow. High-pressure coming up from the south. Lots of yellows on the weather map. So running longs or shorts? How many layers? Running jacket or not? If not how to keep warm on the journey to the start?

Shorts a must, dri-wick for the run – maybe an old t-shirt and that old runner’s favourite – a black bin bag. And most importantly a spare bottle of water. Will need to ensure I remain hydrated, before, during and after.
