Did a great 30km yesterday.
Nothing organised, just a pootle to start upping the miles for Race To the Stones, but finally managing to take hydration and nutrition seriously and as a result ended feeling really fresh. Ran along the Trent in the fog and finished just as it started to burn off.
I've always had a bad habit of starting to eat and drink too late and end up desperate at the finish. I used some electrolyte tabs, and not sure if that made a big difference, but it makes 100km feel a fair bit more manageable.
Would be great to know from others who have upped to ultra distance how they manage food and drink on training runs.
