Not so much a running problem but is becoming a problem if I am out doing something like Munro bagging, like last week.

I find that in a period of extensive exercise and fairly demanding (headed over 3 munros a couple of weeks back) I get a real problem with eating.  Things just have no taste and feel like eating cardboard or rubber.  It has a serious knock on effect as I stop eating as it is difficult to do so.  Last weekend I drank a good litre and half of water plus a Lucozade energy drink.  So, I dont think it was dehydration.

Ended up an exhausting day.  By the time we got off the hill I was absolutely done in.

Thoughts appreciated!

sounds a bit like shin splints but go see someone to check

if you decide to use them look at other stuff than Lucozade like Nuuns and High 5 which are energy tablets you dissolve in water.

Nuuns Orange flavour in diluted Orange jiuce tastes nice if nothing else!

might be some info here Emily:

but I would get a docs appointment to be honest.  We all have our crappy days but if this a recurring condition you need to get it checked out.

Does anyone know if the BUPA Great Run in Edinbuirgh in October has facilities for changing/stashing gear?
