A little advice? Has anyone done the 10k race for life?

[lez69]

Hi all,

I've started running last May, completed c25k early august and have now signed up for a race for life 10k in 4 weeks time (my dad is 15 months into a terminal diagnosis of cancer and he is definitely nearing the end now - which is why I feel cancer research is so valuable), but my question is I've struggled with the sizing on the race for life clothes, they say a size 12 is 54.5 cm, when I have queried this it is 54.5 cm seam to seam which works out a size 12 at 44 inches - which to me is huge pls help. I'm a size 12 Marks and Spencer is this standard size 12 on race for life vest's for 2019. Thanks for any help. Xx

I can't help with your query lez69, but very sorry to hear about your dad and hope your Race for Life goes well👍

Thank you. I started running to gain 'headspace' because of what was happening with my dad and it has really helped for me. Thank you for your support xx

I bought a size 14 top. I'm a 12 but running stuff is often small. It is enormous!!! Much too big! I just did the 5k this year. 10k next year!!

Thanks for that Ang, I think I'm leaning towards a 10 myself going off the website sizes. Good on you for doing the 5k, onwards and upwards 😆😆 xx
