WATER -Before,during and after. Sounds obvious, but just a small amount of dehydration will result in a drop in energy levels.
SUNSCREEN- I used Clinique body spray in SPF 25 which is incredibly effective and easy to apply.Also Clinique Targeted Protection stick in SPF 35 which is perfect for lips, shoulders and other burn-prone areas.
FOOTPROTECTION-Obviously you will be wearing well cushioned trainers [I went Runners Need in Canary Wharf where they analyse your gait in order to help find the most suitable trainers] But on the day it is a must to protect your feet from painful blisters. Simply coat your feet in a thick greasy cream inside your socks. I used Keihls Imperial Body Balm but you could use good old Vaseline.
SUNGLASSES- Protecting your eyes from sun and dust and pollution is a must! Get a big pair of bug eyes that fit securely!
CLEANSING WIPES- I took Body Shop Gentle Wipes with Vitamin E
MAKE-UP . Ok well all you need is some gorgeous Nail Varnish! Any other make-up on your face will simply block pores and end up everywhere! So i wore Barry M Nail Paint in Shocking Pink 272.
Happy Running !
