Today is the day my team, Leeds United could get promoted from League One but I’ve also got the Leeds Half Marathon tomorrow… even if Leeds go up, I can’t really celebrate with the race tomorrow.
Laura, myself and three of her mates came up to Leeds yesterday. While the girls will be horse riding around Eric, my father in law’s place, I’ll be meeting with the boys in town and staying firmly on orange juice and soda so I’m fit to run tomorrow.
I ran out and about around Eric’s place today, it’s in gorgeous countryside just outside Weatherby and the sun was bright as can be. I took the run nice and easy in anticipation of tomorrow and also took one of the Viper Active gels I’ve been sent by Maximuscle with me, taking it at around 12 miles.
It’s hard to tell how good it is at giving energy on such a short run but, unlike some of the other gels I’ve tried, it actually tastes quite nice but, like all gels, it also needs to be taken with water and, as I didn’t have any, it left me feeling a little dry. I’ll have a better idea of how well they work when I finish tomorrow’s race.
