Well done April your preparation is commendable I’ll have to take a leaf out of your book as the weeks progress. Keep up the good work!

Very well done... hydration every day, not just on run days is advisable:)

There is great advice on eating and drinking here in IannodaTruffe 's great link..

With the longer runs... your stamina and core strength exercise on rest days should be upped, and then just relax into the runs. Let the newly found running legs, do their own thing and find their happy pace:)
