First ever half marathon tomorrow. Aiming for 90mins but the second half is a bit lumpy. We’ll see. Also using this to test marathon fuelling strategy. 3/4 gels: 60g of glucose. A 375ml water bottle with 50g of sugar (1:1 fructose/glucose), and 250mg of sodium citrate. Aiming to offset a ~1.5L sweat rate with drinking 330ml at each of the water stations. (I’ve spent some time thinking about this). Hoka Rincon 2 seem to be my preferred shoe these days.

They’re light, comfortable, and feel like they improve my running economy more than any other shoe. #ilkleyhalf
