This is the longest I've ever run and if anyone had told me a year ago I'd be running anywhere near that amount I'd have laughed.
I have a foot injury too so that made the run all the more difficult & I've been struggling with my legs hurting since I finished the run but the main thing is I completed it!
Plenty of stretching & ice being applied now!
I picked up a new water belt at a local running shop yesterday which came in so handy. It has four small bottles attached so I can carry water & sports drinks with me at the same time, making a huge difference! It was really nice to have my hands free from carrying a bottle too.
The best is elasticated so doesn't move around like most running belts as you're on the move.
My latest running aid is banana chips! I now take a packet on every long run. I have a couple before I set off as I find it hard to eat anything much before a long run. Then after around an hour I eat a couple more & again just before 2 hours to give me that final boost! I suppose it's each to their own & now I've found this works for me I haven't looked back!
I'd love to hear your running tips for hydration & boosting your run!
