Hello friends. Welcome to Race Week! Whether your exploring the 5K or Half Marathon at Philadelphia Distance Run this upcoming Sunday, September 15th.....here is a very trustworthy checklist to make sure you have everything you need before you lace up and hit the beautiful streets of Philadelphia in less than seven (7) days!
1. My Race Day shoes are already picked out.....but there is still time to get into a new pair if you'd like. The new Brooks Hyperion Max 2 is a great option for racing, and/or if you're using either the 5K or Half as a build towards a longer race this Autumn!
2. Philadelphia Runner gear plays everyday in Philly. There is great a variety of pre-race, race, and post-race styles to choose from.....including our limited-edition 20th Anniversary Collection! Moisture-wicking everything, shorts/pants with plenty of pockets, AND.....well you'll have to stay tuned (yep, again).....
3. Stock up on all things hydration. Yes, it's Fake Fall.....which is actually still Summer. Don't let this immaculate weather fool you!
4. Nutrition is as essential as hydration. Load up for that last easy run, your Saturday shakeout, and of course…..Race Day!
5. Don’t forget important accessories such as socks, hats, and sunglasses.
6. Body Glide. Protection from chaffing, rubbing, pinching, and other skin irritants.
7. In additon to the Brooks Hyperion Max 2 and the extremely popular Brooks Ghost Max 2, check out some of the new releases highlighted on #MYPHILLYRUN BLOG. Look for articles beginning with 'Launch Day' or 'Launch Season'.
8. Already have your Race Day playlist created? But you still want to absorb the energy of other racers and the folks cheering for you? Our bone conduction headphones allow you to do both!
9. Don't forget to recover. Let's take care of our bodies this week.
10. Have a great time! Walking, jogging, running, and/or racing should be fun!
