Long Run Wk1 Sun 10th Oct

The schedule said 12-16 miles at 7:45 - 8:15 mpm and managed to clock 16.2miles in 2:06:21. That works out at 7:48mpm.
Used the run to test my "Innovate hydration system" ahead of the Marriotts Way Ultra on 1st November. The innovate system is a bladder within a bumbag with a tube that reaches to the mouth. It worked fairly well, feeling a bit hot round the hips to start with, but it doesn't bounce and isn't uncomfortable . Took a little while to work out how best to attach the tube when running and not drinking and ended up tucking it into the waist band.
Over all pleased with the run. Didn't think I was going to manage that performance.
