"Lockdown" Camping Test - 30kg luggage

Stay Local, Stay Apart, Stay Safe

Quick run before lunch

I lost 2.4 kg on the run (about 5.2 lbs), but that'll almost all just be sweat.
I ran "dry", so no water stops or bottle in my hand, or anything like that.
The "bounce" in my step at the start had worn down by about 5k, and after about 10k, my "good" knee started sending me warning signals. But it all settled down after about 15k, by which time my head had started to droop (when I am "fresh", I look ahead, when I am tired, I look just in front of my feet!) By 20k, my speed had dropped quite a bit.
pics are: 
adding a bit of salt to my post-run recovery Ribena ("real" thing, not one of those low sugar abominations!)
me, post run.
my kit (all pretty low-priced basic kit)
recovery bananas.
so you have seen the post-run carbs and protein. what about the post-run fat? well, I have enough of that already in my "long range fuel tank" ;-)
I hope to get in one 21k/13 miler a month for the coming months, to get my fitness back up, and to build up my legs a bit, too.
Update: two days later, and I am still walking like Douglas Bader ...
I gotta get some intermediate runs in, not just wreck myself with these "maximum" efforts!
