Week 2 - more music to run to

First run of week 2. Went well. New ASICS trainers provide much better cushioning and support than my ancient ones I started in, but running in the middle of the day on the bank holiday, hadn’t hydrated properly before I began, so felt quite dry half way through. Memo to self - remember to drink water half an hour before going out. Running music of choice today @PSB_HQ -Go m.youtube.com/watch?v=BHIo6...

Well done, but drinking water half an hour before you go out may stop you feeling thirsty but will do precious little for your general hydration.

As a runner you need to drink 2.5 -3 litres of fluid each and every day, running or not, as mentioned in the guide.

Point taken. It was really a reminder that if you feel thirsty you’re already dehydrated so keeping hydrated is key.
