Well, what can I say?  You guys ROCKED Wembley. I’m sorry that we couldn’t run to Wembley Stadium itself but that will be something you can look forward to next year when you’re running with the regular group <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RACE DAY!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few things:
Right now, the weather in Berlin is looking similar to what we have had in London, maybe a touch warmer, which is good .\u00a0 So mid-50s F\/11-13 C is what is predicted 10 days before the race, subject to change of course. \u00a0You should be trying out what you think you might wear on the race over the two weeks.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Make sure nothing rubs the wrong way, think about layers, and also some warmer weather things in case it’s warmer than we are used to.\u00a0 For layers, some people will buy a cheap outer layer that they plan to toss when they get hot so they don\u2019t have to carry it.\u00a0 So think about whether you care if something is tied around your waist.\u00a0 My\u00a0beginner\u00a0year, I bought that cheap layer but I realized during the race that I was so used to having something around my waist that I didn\u2019t care, so I kept it.\u00a0 Everyone is different, but think about what might work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week and for Kew, we will plan to take our gels while running <\/strong>(or maybe brisk walking).<\/strong>  We need to practice – we do not plan to stop to take the gels during the race.  Sometimes the gel packaging can be tricky – so just resort to pulling the tab off with your teeth if you have to.  This is why we practice \ud83d\ude42  We will take the gels about 60-70 min into the run.
OK \u2013 for the run, don\u2019t forget:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
