Don't load yourself up like a pack horse.....doh!!

On Monday evening I did a little session at the gym, I hadn't been feeling well so it was just stretch out after the weekend.

I did an interval training session, not really hard about 5 sets on the treadmill, then some stretches, a swim and the a sauna / steam.

I had a conversation with Andy when I was there, told him about my long run and my experiences.

When I was recounting my water bottle carrying issues, I could see a little rye smile about his face. At that moment I could see he was thinking, what an idiot!!

Of course Andy, is always very supportive and experienced, he suggested that it may be better not to carry all the water you require for a long run from start to finish. But to find stop off water points along the way! Yet another revelation for me, and surprisingly a common sense approach......
