Running Clique

[Duffers]

Had a really good week - 10.7 miles after work on Tuesday then 15.8 today. Been working on my fuelling, ate a bowl of porridge an hour and a half before going out and bought a bottle of Lucozade half way round then had a few swings every 2.5 miles. Had more energy, which is good, but I did start getting cramp in my calves after about 14 miles. Need to look at that.

Did you drink alcohol last night? The problem with lucozade too is that it's just sugar, it's not really hydrating. It also might be you adjusting to your nutrition before you run. Try it again next week but drink plenty of water through the week.

I did not drink, haven’t had a drink for ages. Yeah I think it might have been the Lucozade, the sugar was handy though. Might look at water and jelly babies next week.
