What are shakeout runs?
A shakeout run is the easy pre-race jog that loosens the legs and burns off nerves. Brands and run clubs host them all weekend, usually early, usually free and almost always finishing at a coffee stop. Turn up in whatever you plan to race in and keep the pace conversational.
