So training camp at yours when…?
Platypus' Beginners Guide to Running

I've discussed doing just that, and at great length, with a long time running partner of mine. One of those life dreams that'll never happen cause I've had kids
.Indeed, a real tragedy.It is such a shame that Kelvin Kiptum has died aged 24. All that potential is gone. RIP

Only real advice I'd give you is ditch the camelback and switch to soft flasks, if you can carry 1.5L in a camel back you can carry 2 (or even 3) 500ml soft flasks.Hey there! I was wondering if you could help me out with something. I am currently on week 7 of Hal's novice marathon plan (aiming for 5-5:3 hours) and my long run is ramping up to 12 miles this week. I want to make sure I am properly hydrated throughout my training and was hoping you could give me some advice on how much plain water and electrolyte fluid I should be drinking. I have a 500ml bottle and a 1.5L Camelback, but I'm not sure if that's too much or too little. I'm aiming to use this 12-mile as a practice run. Any thoughts?
My statistics if that helps.

36 Years Old

12-13 miles probably take 2:15 - 2:30hours.

That aside, 2 litres for 12 miles seems an awful lot to me, I'd consume no more than a litre and only then in hot weather, this time of year 500ml max, but everyone is different and you do what is comfortale for you.

I have definitely got buyers remorse from the Fenix 7S Pro. I navigated this last week, and some parts where a struggle:
It's a great watch and I do like the battery life but some of the trickier parts of navigation were a struggle on the smaller screen. Might hit up a few of the local running clubs and see if I can swap it for the larger screen.

Just a Forerunner 645 basic with very basic nav. Unfortunately this was a gift from my wife so I can't really complain :grimace:

Not sure that qualifies as good recovery food but its well earned nonetheless . Well done @Blackvault!
. Well done @Blackvault!Sounds like the hash house harriers: a drinking club with a running problemYeah, it isn't the healthiest of foods, but then the running club is more like a drinking club first. Running club second
.Yeah I used to hash every week. Drunk many a pint out of my trainers .
It's actually a fantastic way to train - the front runners get a lot of miles in and good speed work, and the pack stays together so the slow runners never get left behind. Am sure the drinking is just carbo loading

I've had a terrible summer. Family emergency and its led to a complete lack of training on my part; I've never really been in a situation where I've felt unable to run but its where I am at the moment 
. Total waste of a very promising year. I'd done ~3,000 miles by the end of June this year, and since nothing.
Need to find the mojo somehow.

I thought that but I can't do it. Mental block.
Maybe I should get my wife to do it and then its done and tough I've got to do it.
