My BigHalf Marathon is only 4 weeks away. I am a little concerned that I want to do it justice as have run a practice one on Christmas Eve but have done two Parkruns in the morning but performance is not same as my usual evening runs. Although the latest one my second was an improvement with a PB as made a lot of changes to the 1st, not so many clothes, it wasn’t so cold although very breezy, did not eat breakfast before just a banana, no drinks, and used the loo before going to the run. So a little concerned as don’t seem to run so well in the morning. Then later on this arrived bringing home how close it is getting will be getting name put on it.

I think you should drink more otherwise you could become dehydrated which wouldn't be to good for you.

Thanks I do drink just not before this run as it was early for me and the previous run could feel it inside. Drink during the days leading up to it to make sure I am hydrated.
