Running on my own, I started at Aylsham at 5.45pm on a warm evening - which cooled down each hour. I targeted 10k per hour and at 20k I was bang on target but quads starting to ache like they never had before. Food was fine - I ate some jelly babies and cereal bars but only took 1 small bottle of water which was not enough. At 30k I was struggling and behind my target but plodded on. Stupidly I didn't take my head torch so from Drayton onwards I ran in the dark which was not fun! Reached Norwich and then walked into the city to get some fluid and catch the last bus home to Aylsham. Will be better prepared next time and break the 4 hour mark.
