Essential Items for Perfect Half Marathon Race Day

So I am running the Hackney Half Marathon on Sunday 19 May 2024 and thought I would share with enough detail why I use the kit I use with hopes that you could benefit from it.

Massive shout out to all those that completed the 2024 RBC Brooklyn Half Marathin as well.

Aslway, please let me know if I am missing anything or you have more recommendations.

A running hat (preferably a light color) absolutely is a must during the summer for protection from the sun. Especially if you're running over that 1, 5 hour time. Heatstroke can be deadly, even more if you combine it with running.

I’m addicted to my running hats and my sunnies. Can’t do a run without them!

My goals in life:
1. Get married
2. Have kids
3.Get a white, snake skin track suit 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Good luck today fella, irrespective of the outcome, enjoy every minute (I know you will as you love life!)

[amandawalker]

Think my message got lost lol.
Love the jacket too.
I am predicting you get a Pb and that you will become the next big name in running vlogging . You shine in these video's 🎉🎉

Good luck tomorrow Aubrey and whoever is doing the Hackney Half. I completed the Hackney 5K today and the vibe was so chill and cool! Enjoy the day it's gonna be a hot one!

Great video Aubrey, don't know how you get on with that Maurten drink mix, it's too thick for me, love the gels though! Hope the half goes well and I'm sure you'll smash that PB!

[Joe_Souza]

Best of luck on the PB! Regardless of how you do, you’ll look great.

[irunremy]

Great video… wish you the best on your race

Err Aubrey where’s your old sweatshirt or hoodie to keep you warm to the start line then throw to the charity bin before you set off!? Good luck mate 😉

[deshkanagrikhoon]

Best of luck man.Hope you get the PB you planned for.
Do not depend on the pacing strategy on your watch because if the GPS messes up it would become very difficult.

[joshuadunning]

Best of luck. A note, a Maurten 160 every 20 minutes plus a Maurten drink mix is way more than optimal carbs for a Half Marathon (30-60g per hour, you’re exceeding 120/130 I think?). Just trying to save you some money! 😃

Nice how did it go ?, I did the bristol half marathon yesterday

[matthewpedlow]

Nice sunnies, which model are they mate?

[sugincuk]

what jacket are you wearing, can you pack it into its own pocket?

[kyleleriche]

lol. the Branding is Strong now in the channel.

Sorry you couldn't break the PB. Heat slows the average runner by 4 seconds per km for every degree centigrade over 15. The seconds do add up over 21kms
