I find it hard to lower my pace too. I'm starting to wonder whether it's a learned skill that requires practice.

Nice one. If money allows, throw a few grams of raw shelled pistachios plus some dried mango into the food mix.

Carrying 500ml water = could drink double this. Tiring to grip a bidon for so long
Tried or considered a soft Flask? These ones have a finger loop - https://www.decathlon.co.uk/trail-running-soft-flask-500ml-id_8487344.html

I'm going to look into vests/bum bag/belt things
I use an eastpak bum bag and found it to be really good, best position was on my hip and didn't impede my run at all. It's got front and back pockets and you can easily buy them for under £10 on ebay

vests/bum bag/belt things,
Salomon Pulse belt is great - phone, wallet, keys, and 500ml squeezy flask all fit very easily.

Little update to this:
Yesterday's long run was 3.30 hr total and included lots of little breaks, totalled about 23 miles. Going slower in the week has added more energy to the Sunday long run. Next challenge is with carrying 1kg of food/water. I'm going to look into vests/bum bag/belt things, but it isn't a world I'm familiar with. Thanks again for the advice folks.
