Hi,
The cosmos finally heard my pleas of 'wanting to lose weight, save the world, and be rich' by putting my car out of action and thus reducing carbon emissions, saving me on petrol and forcing me to rethink how I get about. I have therefore decided to attempt to begin running to work. Not an ideal time to start as winter is on its way, and I will be doing most/all of my running in the dark.
The majority of it will be on lanes, with a bit of off road, and therefore I wanted to know what kit I will need to start out?
Is windproof/waterproof trousers a good idea, or am I better off in shorts and then shower when I get to work? Are trainers going to get wet so quickly they become uncomfortable, or is there another shoe I should invest in?
Its going to be about 8 miles, and at my current standard, probably about 2 1/2 hours!
Any help, (other than get the bus) is most welcome,
Thanks
