Flaming hot today! Kept it easy to cope with the heat. Had to modify my original plan to run 5 miles and walk for 5 mins when the heat got too much, but tried to keep to a regular schedule. 🤠 🏃 30 miles 🍦🍦5 lollies and 2 calippos 🚰 Lots of! And thanks to the @cuckoo_shack for a perfectly timed stop at 18 miles for cold drinks and calippos. ❤️❤️❤️ And for resoaking my cap, and two buffs including my @art_of_your_success @serpiesrc buff to keep me cool. Thought it was a mirage at first! Post run I feel bloody marvellous. Legs are great. Hope it's not this hot on GUCR145 but if it is then I feel more confident that I can handle it by slowing a little, drinking, keeping cool and managing my body. 🔥🔥💪🦄 Meant to get up at 4am but overslept (after waking up) and ended up running in the blazing heat. Which I suppose is good training 🤣🤣 Lessons during my run in insane heat today 1. Must remember sun cream 2. Ice lollies on demand during GUCR. 3. Wet buffs and hats work well. 4. Temperature does peak at some point. 5. Still love fruity non gassy drinks. 6. My legs feel great if I run super easy. 7. Suunto worked well on longer batt setting 8. Calippos work perfectly and walk breaks. 9. Breathing is good to monitor work. 10. Had plenty oomph in my body after 30miles 🦄🏁💪🔥🔥🚰🚰🚰💪🐷🐷🐷 #serpies #serpiesrc #SerpentineRC @art_of_your_success #icecream #heattraining #cuckootrail #gucr145 #canalslam #horam

Hot ! 30 mile training run today to test a few things for GUCR. 🏁 Like running in an inferno 🔥 #ProjectCanalSlam #CuckooTrail #hot #warmweathertraining #ultrarunning #serpies #serpiesrc

Reading materials. And some firewater 😂

The beautiful north downs. Except my legs didn't feel it today. Need to do more hill training. And not attempt lots of hills when I have already done 70 miles during the week 😂

Bloody loved that. 28 miles on the cuckoo trail including a lap of Eastbourne park. 🏃 Went out later so Susie could join me and it had the spin off "benefit" of me having to run in the heat of the day (everyone knows I suffer in temperatures above 8 celcius!) 🙈🙈 Mission for today was 10 miles easy effort followed by 8 miles at race 🏁 effort, then finishing with 10 miles easy effort again 🤗 All is coming together nicely for GUCR. Can't wait to see my friends there next month 😀😁😀 Don't forget chips and gravy! 🐷 #projectGrandslam #RockstarPerform #controlled #trainingworks @marvellousmimi #CaffeineBullet #serpiesrc #newbalance #steigensocks
