I drank most of my 1 litre water bottle I took with me on the walk but didn't need to pee until I got home 4 hrs after leaving for the walk And when I did get home I drank a glass of ginger beer and two mugs of tea - hate to think how dehydrated I would have been if I'd taken less water. With hindsight, I should have put my Platypus hydration system in my rucksack rather than the water bottle.

I've been running on it for ages but after a 5k TT on Sat, a 21k run on Sun and 45k walk on Monday, I think I've upset it a bit and am going to need to take a week off.
Welshpoppy Jun 2021 10:02am, 3 Jun 2021 1,035 posts	0 Welshpoppy Fenland that is great news and on the running miles. I also find 200 miles a month is my sweet spot for losing so need to up my miles but I am trying and mixing inlots of walking as well.I just have to watch Achilles as it hates me on my feet. AZX sorry to hear that maybe that walk was the straw that broke the camels back?
azx Jun 2021 10:10am, 3 Jun 2021 327 posts	0 azx Yeah WP, perhaps it was. I do like walking I must say. My plan was to walk to Brighton on a 70km route I'd mapped out, but I think that was a bit optimistic on a first attempt at anything above about 25k. Was a lovely route on a lovely day:

Hibeedeb Jun 2021 11:54am, 7 Jun 2021 115 posts	0 Hibeedeb No change for me this week, which was surprising considering my sugary carb intake this weekend. I’ve lost 2 stone though, which sounds more impressive than 12.7 kg… I’m also at a run streak of 98 days - my longest ever. Not sure how long it’ll be til I break 😂
WtnMel Jun 2021 12:41pm, 7 Jun 2021 2,240 posts	0 WtnMel A bit of a 'blip' for me at the end of last week but I'm back slowly losing weight now and my Trendweight graph is still showing a downward trend. I've been trying to cut down on the 'snacks' and biscuits and get more exercise and it seems to be working. But I do mean 'slowly' losing weight - just need to get that downward curve heading down a bit more steeply.
