  • under 10c or feels like, thin gloves and short sleeved shirt with singlet underneath.

    5c and below, long sleeved shirt and tights, and warm hat.

    closer to 0c may wear an extra shirt over top of long sleeves.

    edit: material is whatever quick dry sports material is available. ive not seen a significant difference in performance between top end (2xu, under armor) and no name dept store / ali amazon / temu brands




  • I think if your body is not used to getting up at 5:30am and eating, its gonna feel weird. My only morning run is usually a parkrun, and I don’t eat before that. My other runs (12 - 16 km) I usually wait until I’ve had a large meal + 90 minutes then go.

    I usually run in the evenings, I struggle with events because they usually are run early in the morning (so I have the same issue, having to get up early just to eat).

    For getting past 10km, just make sure you are putting a long run into your weekly runs, and keep increasing your total mileage week on week. Yeah, it will be a struggle until your body can catch up to it.
