Since our tough weekend in Nottingham, we've started our taper so we haven't been running any long distances. Today however we got ourselves fully kitted up and headed to David Lloyd in Stevenage to test things out in a bit of heat. We ran on the treadmills by the swimming pool for about an hour, where the temperature is high along with the humidity. We won't face humidity that high in the desert, so we were encouraged by our performance. We did get a few funny looks from other more conventional gym users! The kit felt fine, with Ben's newly designed hydration system working well ,and the front pack for me seemed better than in Nottingham. It was also a test of whether all my kit fits in the bag...fortunately it seems like it does!!During this week the plan is to do a couple more similar sessions at the gym and then put our feet up for the last week before we head out... not long now...
