Nice works @hats - from your write up, I think I’m only jealous of your easy access to Pocari Sweat!
20km in the bag this morning - started to get hot towards the end (ffs). Will probably save the final 11km for early evening when it will be a little cooler.

Julyathon, complete.
Total km: 496km
Total run: 334km (95km on a treadmill)
Total walked: 158km
Temperature: day 33+ ("feels like" 40+, LOL), night 28, humidity at best 80% (usually 90%+), longest plum rain season in recorded history
Number of pocari sweats consumed: unimaginable
In January and February combined I ran a total of 65km, thanks to a stress fracture, sprained ankle, being stranded in the UK, being ill, etc. Since I came back to China at the end of Feb I've run 30-40km per week, sprained my ankle again and developed some really disordered eating habits, so to complete this is quite surprising to me.
I've learnt that it's difficult to run well on a diet of mango and yoghurt, that running at midday in summer is stupid, that sleep is important, and that a plan is only good if you actually stick to it. I've also learnt that I can run on a treadmill almost indefinitely if I have enough TV shows to watch, which I'm not sure says great things about me.
I'm looking forward to August and not having to run 3 times in one day, doing some better quality runs, having more time to ride my bike and going on holiday! Thanks everyone for the support :)
