Save Your Silver Blanket to Keep Warm for the Next Race
In cooler weather races, you can freeze to death after cooling, which is why race organizers often distribute Mylar space blankets. Don’t throw yours away – this is the perfect way to keep warm on the starting line of your next race.
This is just one suggestion on a list of lesser-known starting line comfort options at Runner’s World. Marathon runners often show up in thrift store suits and take them off at the start of the race. (Be careful, by the way, and throw them in the trash can or, if possible, in the trash cans.) But there are other great suggestions on the list, including cutting off a pair of knee-high socks to warm your hands.
