Despite the cold not completely shifting after a week of rest, decided to stick to plan and do 20 miles yesterday. Was joined by Pamela AND Emma for the first mile and then set off up the Leeds Road (this is the reverse of the usual 20 mile loop). A bonus after a week of rain was that it was dry and the sun was almost out!
Felt OK for the first 10 miles but then legs got tired, I felt cold and generally rubbish. Still, did some walking up hills and completed in 3 hrs 15 mintes'ish', so no great disaster.
Used about 1.5 litres of the 2 litres I was carrying. Lemon and Lime Nuun again. Also tried out some mixed 'fruit, seeds, nuts', some salted roast cashews and date and nut bars and all seemed OK, though the cashews sat heaviest on my stomach - either need to eat less in one 'snack', or save these until the end of each run.
