Week 7 run 1

[Teddly22]

Well I went out first thing this morning. I didn't have any breakfast just a cup of tea and a banana and the run itself was okay. Lots of runners and dogs out early which I dont normally see as I am usually a just before lunch runner but since I've ran I've had a banging headache? Is it just my fluid intake that I need to up on the early runs? I don't normally get headaches?

I would guess it’s the change in routine if you are used to eating a certain size of breakfast at a certain time. Could be dehydration too. Hope it soon passes.

Thanks! I don't really like to do the early ones but if I have to next week I will up the fluid ( might then need to stop for the loo!) 🚽🏃

Always go before you run. Sometimes I go before and after putting my trainers on 🤣

'A just in case wee' like my mum used to make me have everytime we left the house! 👍🚽

I’ve never wee’d in a case. I don’t know what sort of man you think I am. 😳

Good hydration is essential every single day... and that is the key Just upping it on run days won't do the trick

Check this post out too... at the moment with warm weather it is essential to take care

PS

Better a wild wee than a headache

Very well done on the early run.. try to relax into these longer runs... land lightly and just take it steadily
