If you're tackling more than one of the 5 distances this year, you've probably heard a bit of advice floating around about what actually helps you while you're out there, and what's just something someone's mate swears by.

We went through a few of the common Myths or Musts and sorted out which are worth listening to and which aren't. Have a look through and see if we've missed anything.

Thankfully no matter the problem, our mates at That's It. have a no nasties, environmentally friendly solution.

🌿 COASTAL FIVE SUPPORT CREW TIP #4: THE PUKEITI PLAN

Got someone taking on the Pukeiti 10K?

Here’s the thing: Pukeiti is spectacular for runners… but it’s not the easiest one for spectators. 😅

Our pick? Head to the halfway point around the intersection of Plymouth Road and give your runner a MASSIVE cheer as they come through. 📣

Tell them they’re looking strong. Tell them they’re smashing it. Apply Support Crew Tip #1 liberally. 😂

Then comes the important part…

☕ Go get a hot chocolate and some breakfast.

Yep. While they’re out there tackling the hard stuff, you’ve got time to warm up, refuel and congratulate yourself on an excellent morning’s spectating.

Your runner will return by bus, so you can catch up with them afterwards and hear ALL about it.

Runner: 10km to Pukeiti.
Support crew: cheer + hot chocolate + breakfast.

Everyone has their own challenge. 😂

Running’s like dance… apparently. 😂

One of the runners joining us for our Coastal Five Community Breakfast Q&A is Whanganui runner and content creator Nat Kirk.

If you already follow Nat on Instagram, you’ll know his approach to running is a little different. He shares genuinely useful running content, from warm-ups and workouts to training tips. But somehow manages to work a fair bit of dancing into it too. 😂

At the heart of Nat’s content is something we love: running should be fun.

Nat will be joining us on Friday morning to chat about running, training and finding the enjoyment in it all.

If you don’t already follow him, go and check out https://www.instagram.com/nkirknz/. You might learn something, and you’ll almost certainly be entertained.

📅 Friday 13 November
⏰ 7:00–9:00am
📍 TSB Showplace

Come along for breakfast, our runner Q&A and the chance to pick up your Coastal Five race bib before the weekend begins.

🎟️ Tickets: https://raceroster.com/store/112960/listing

More of our breakfast speakers to come! 👀

Turns out... it's not about pace. It's the alarm you didn't snooze. The hill you had to walk a month ago that you now run without thinking. The person you're slowly growing into and barely noticed.

You don't have to be a runner. You just need a why.

So tell us... are you a runner?
