Thank-you so much everyone who helped me! Mainly I understood that my knowledge and experience as a hiker was pretty useless ๐Ÿ˜‚

I combined all your suggestions, and I feel fine after todayโ€™s โ€˜runโ€™

*Drank heaps of water and took some salts yesterday

*Got up earlier, 80mins before setting off 26C at 7.30am ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

*Ate some porridge with salts 80mins before set off

(I never eat at the bottom of a hill when hiking, so before, I havenโ€™t eaten before running)

*Also drank 1.5L water, big mug of tea and a strong coffee before set off.

*Stopped attempting to move at a respectable pace haha

*Drank water on getting home again with a pinch of salts ( it was hot out there)

* Ate a few carbs and protein when I got home

* One or all of these things must have worked coz Iโ€™m fine !!!!

Thank you all sooo much! I had no idea that this would be such a shock to my (neglected!) body ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
