Ok, I'm going to start week 2 R1. As I have a day off today , I've gotten up a little later. What should I eat before my run in order in ensure I don't feel lathargic or demotivated during the run. I normally go at 6.30 am with some water but it's 9am now and I have had nothing to eat. Should I have porridge with blueberries and then wait 2 hours then run or should I drink water, have some fruit and run in 30 min. I want to do it before midday though.

It’s definitely water for me Kashy! You’ll need plenty of it in this heat. Have a great run! ❤️
