Very excited here too, 1 10k left to run and then its feet up and carb loading all the way for me. Just 1 question though, has anybody done a long run in the rain? I've been quite lucky with the weather and managed pretty much all of mine in the dry, is there anything i should expect to be vastly different? ie. increased chaffing, heavier shoes etc? |

Chaffage might be an issue, and if it's heavy rain beware of it getting in your eyes so you have to squient up into it, can be quite painful. It's a bit more sapping, morale-wise, but better than blazing sunshine. I don't think you'll be at a disadvantage having not trained in it. |

Extremely excited, slightly nervous, here! Trying to get in the right mindset to enjoy it, but every so often remember 2009, when I ran out of puff very early on... I quite like running in light rain, which can be refreshing, but never tried a full-on downpour. Is that the forecast?

Rain for me cause eye irritaion, so I always wear sunglasses in the rain, wet soaks and soggy feet are not the nicest of things, poss think of vas on your feet if as forcast there are chances of rain

I wear a cap for rain - especially useful if you wear contact lenses.
