Thanks Linda, told I dont drink enough even before this program, have started to log drinks plus drink through the day from a sports bottle so can see how much I'm drinking . Just have to train myself and like you say a lesson learned

Drinking the day before the run is important as you don't want to go out with sloshing belly 😃

Try hydrating the day before, not right before a run 😶

Well done though, nearly there
