Tips
Need – number (issued by Jane) same number for each race
Club LFR top – otherwise you don’t count
Car Share!
Gloves / hat / long sleeve top useful
Each race typically 5 miles.
Bin bag for start if cold
Position is key – not time.
Warm up – rough ground and cold muscles can = injury
Run as a pack – use other runners to ‘pull you along’
Use Fartlek skills
The shortest route isn’t always the easiest – run wide on muddy bends
Surge after corners / out of site / past obstacles etc.
