Training Both participants in the 3 City Challenge have never taken part in any sort of organised running event before, let alone a marathon or an ultra marathon. As you can image, training is therefore going to be quite tough! Robin Shill and Jabulani Mhlanga will both be writing blogs on their training. Check out Robin's Body Blog here. Check out Jabulani's Jabulog here. Our Checklist We've compiled a checklist of things we need to take with us. If you can think of anything else, let us know on robin@robinshill.com. Thanks. Cap. For protection from the sun (if it's out). Gloves. Just in case the wind is cool. Shoes. Hopefully we will be meeting a friend half way round, at that point we'll change shoes. Socks. We'll be carrying some spare socks.  Sunglasses. We'll probably get some sports glasses that don't slide down the nose through sweat. Plasters/ medical tape. Just in case we feel a blister coming on, we'll stop and cover it up. Food and drink. We'll be taking some high sugar foods to keep our blood sugar levels high, for example dried fruit, bananas, oat bars etc. For drink, we'll take water and sports drinks and alternating between the 2 because during training, continuous sports drinks brings on a sicky feeling.
