Finally

The only kit you need is decent shoes. Get a proper pair and train in the ones you'll run in,. Don't use anything brand new on race day train in everything you'll actually use towards the end.

Vaseline on the nipples stops them bleeding in long runs, that started to happen for me anything over 13mi or so, ymmv!
