Do you have to carry full fighting order on 3 miler

Post by matt1389 »

I was just wondering do you have to carry full fighting order on the 3 miler at PRMC or do you just run in shorts and trainers.

Mate, I'm sure you can wear a skirt instead if you want, although I suspect that you will attract all the wrong sort of attention. (Unless that's what you are in to.)

Running in shorts is a lot easier. Aerodynamics and all that plus chaffing around the knee area is reduced. But with shorts tight underwear is a must. Needless flashing is uncomfortable and uncalled for.

Agree with twenty one.

Knuckle down and except the fact that Royal don't fight in shorts and trainers. (well sometimes maybe, R&R) After a while the gear will be taken for granted. That's why they build you up from week one.
