Okay
so, for a start, this is primarily aimed at women.
And
secondly I am not a woman. Consequently treat my remarks in the same vein as if
I were commenting on how to speak Swahili.
However,
based on the fact that half or close to half of those who are running will be
women I thought I should at least proffer the smallest crumbs of advice that
have been proffered to me from a female runner.
First,
make sure you have a sports bra.
Second,
whatever bra you are wearing make sure it isn’t the first time you are wearing
it. Like new runners and socks you should have at least brought it out for a
few practice runs before you decide to take it along for 42.1 k of continuous
movement.
And
finally, a second bra can work wonders in that it can enable you to
put/store/stash everything from keys to gels. That this gives you a more buxom
look for those early marathon photographs is only an added bonus.
Other
final female related tips I’ve been told include:
·
Fake tan and 42.1 km of sweat don’t generally mix, something
especially relevant to those planning on on going to a mid-term wedding
·
Shaving legs should take place at least a day before so not
to affect a good night’s sleep.
·
When it comes to using the toilet all bets are off – a free
toilet is a free toiler no matter what gender is put over the door.
