Kit and pacing

What it means

  • Mild: start a touch conservatively

    Around 14°C feels fine at the start but warms up by the second half. Drink from the early stations rather than waiting until you're thirsty, and wear the lightest kit you have.

  • Expect wind

    Wind was 14 km/h on a typical morning here. Run in a group on exposed stretches, and aim for even effort rather than even splits: time lost into a headwind isn't all won back with it behind you.

General guidance from past years' numbers. Check the forecast in race week.
