Re: ANY TIPS FOR RUNNING A HALF

I've never run a half before, but I've run shorter races in 90 plus degree weather with alot of humidity. When it's that I hot I try to wear as little as possible (sports bra and shorts only) and I alwyas make sure I have glide on!!
I also drink extra gatorade to prevent dehydration.

Good luck Rosemarie!! It was really hot at the LI Half, what was it...82 or something? But we made it! I know it stinks, cuz you know the heats gonna slow you down, but just make sure you stay hydrated! Can't wait to hear about it!

you are starting at 8, so I think you will probably start in the 60's - hopefully humidity is low!

I think the best thing that I did during the LIHM in May was lower my expectations. You just cannot run as fast in warmer weather.

Good Luck!
