Run > Long Run

Eddie said: 2.5 hrs on trail

OK, so this was a tad long. In my defence, I hadn't intended to run the mile and a bit from Worthing station to the race start but, you know, I was in Worthing and didn't want to stay too long. Plus it was really muddy. Again. *sigh* And I went off route a couple of times. Really glad I did this (even if the race ends up being cancelled). Good reminder that there's a lot of long slog up to Chanctonbury Ring and then a lot of runnable stuff (when it isn't muddy) from there to Botolphs. Last 3 miles on the flat were tough. Rest of the run I felt good and strong. If I hadn't done this run I wouldn't have seen sheep and pigs and a big ass bird of prey sitting in a tree. Nor would a random man in his front garden in Worthing have whooped and cheered at me. Worth travelling 5 hrs on buses and trains

Pre run nutrition: Porridge with banana, tea, coffee
During run, 3 x GUs (every 45 mins - 300 cals) 0.5l water, 0.5l electrolyte
