Running gear for a marathon.

Running a marathon is one of the biggest accomplishments one can achieve, yet here I am dreading the build-up to the upcoming London Marathon.

Have a way to set your pace and track your progress with the best running watch? Of course. Picked out your race day outfit to raise awareness of the charity you support (and really, to look stylish)? All boxes ticked. But as anyone training for a marathon will know, there's always room for more preparation.
