Out early again and met up with Jamie, we then headed off toward Cookham to meet up with Ade and headed into some breathtaking countryside. After a 90 minute circuit from Marlow we headed back towards home. Altogether 5 hours and 30 minutes and I was absolutely knackered. After parking up the bike I headed out for a 60 minute run. The first 25 minutes was fine, then all of a sudden I felt awful. All of my energy went, my legs went heavy and I found myself having to walk/run. Fortunately I had money with me and was able to buy a Powerade. It took a while but by alternating walking and running my energy seemed to return and the final 20 minutes was back to normal. When I think about it the 30 degree heat, the long run the day before, a short nights sleep all didn't help. However, the big lesson was that I don't think that I fuelled properly. Although I was using the powders, energy blocks I don't think it was enough. I really need to get this sorted out, but I cant seem to get used to the shere volume that I need to consume.
