Run Sessions
- Running Shoes: Make sure they are correctly fitted, suited to your running gait (check with a local shoe store and/or podiatrist) & not too old & worn.
- Running Kit: Comfortable kit suitable to weather conditions & the session. Consider extra layers such as a thin long sleeve top, waterproof jacket, headband, beanie, arm warmers & gloves depending on the length/intensity of the session.
- Head Torch: Used when running in low light conditions. Means there is little excuse for getting the session done.
- Hydration: Consider this for sessions >90mins duration. There are many options for hydration including water bladders in small backpacks, fuel belts or small hand bottles. Work out the most comfortable option for you & what you will use in a race situation.
- Nutrition: Consider this for sessions >90mins duration. You may choose to carry a gel or energy bar in your pocket. Alternatively carry some extra calories/carbohydrate in your hydration system.
- Sun Protection: Consider wearing a hat/visor, sunscreen, sunglasses depending on weather conditions. If really hot, consider wearing a full cap to store ice underneath from aid stations during a race.
