emergency details. Plan your route in advance and where you can seek help
should you require any medical assistance. It is wise to carry a mobile phone
in the event of an emergency.
Plan
your route, ensure you wear the correct footwear for your terrain and anything
under foot i.e. kerbs, cats eyes, bollards, pot holes, boggy sections etc. Be
aware of your surroundings and anything you could have a collision with, cars,
passing traffic, pedestrians, animals. Pay attention to the weather forecast,
avoid running in extreme heat/cold, ensure you have enough hydration or layers
for the weather.
