@Ant7 I remember my first and last 1/2 marathon I was so nervous (but in a good way :)). I just kept chugging away at it. What supplements if any do you use? Are you on a special diet to help with endurance? Yes the humidity which kills me more than the heat.

@Bunniekins I don’t have any special diet or supplements. I normally just try to carbo load just before and I have a couple of cliff bars for breakfast on the day

@Bunniekins I use to drink a lot of water but I have been slack for the last year or two. My Dr said that dehydration is probably what causes me gout so I will have to keep drinking more. I drink a lot of water when I train especially MTB I have a camel back with a 3 litter bladder and if it is hot I can empty it in less then 3 hours.
I only really drink water coffee kombucha and beer.

@Ant7 Yes I get bored out of my mind with water at times particularly in the winter find it hard to drink it but try. What is MTB? I drink black coffee and water with the occassional 1/2 of diet soft drink to stop the boredom lol 🙂

@Ant7 Ahhh when I was training with my running I would break it up with riding my bike with son1. We would go screaming up and down the streets of my area (very hilly where I live) dodging traffice (when I think back it was surprsing I was not hit lol) as I used to ride like the wind. Bikes are so much fun as long as you don't get a flat tyre 😮

@Ant7 Yes riding on the roads is too exciting for the pea these days. When I was living in Canberra there were great cycle ways where we used to take the kids. Canberra has the best cycle ways in Australia. Great city for young families.
