rhb-
Yeah I need to get on the home made electrolyte drink, save some pennies. I've used Tailwind in the past for events but for training runs I need to keep the cost down.
@HatBeard - Yeah I'd be up for a beer. I'll be staying at a friend's in Reading on the Friday night so will be about. Hoping for a sub-5 hour time but not done the route before so nav+weather might slow me down.
@Pifko - Oh yeah I'm not complaining at all. Great weather. Must be nice down on the beach? I have been trialling not eating on long runs recently, partly because I normally have a good breakfast if I know I'm heading out but also hoping to train endurance relying on my energy stores without having to eat much extra. No idea if it's a scientifically sound approach, one less thing to think about :)

^Jornet is so good it's almost unbeleivable. Really impressive running. I read somewhere that he targets something like somewhere between 90 and 120 thousand feet of elevation a week. I struggle to hit 3!
@HatBeard - heal up soon. Say well done to your running mates!
How are people coping with running in this heat?
Specifically on long runs I'm really struggling to get enough fluids in. A couple of weeks ago 2l water and a glass of coke wasn't enough, but that was almost 4 hours out and about in the afternoon. Saturday I drank about 1.5l water over 19 miles. Problem is I don't feel I can drink much more. Is it just a case of I'm using more (sweating etc) than I can take in or are there some pro tips I'm missing?
I think I'm going to suffer on Round Reading at the end of the month.
