Running

I did put a disclaimer of don't go any further of running 10km if you're gonna wear one of those, they're absolutely brutal but they do work if you're going to be reasonable with it. I limit myself to 7km runs, chug a pint of water then jump straight into bed. Woke up this morning feeling extremely fresh.

Yes. Why do you think people involved in combat sports wear them? Other than the extremely dangerous water weight cutting.

I'd focus less on water retention and more on the fact that someone is eating 3-4k calories a day if they're trying to lose weight. Losing "water weight" is a temporary measure that is not sustainable in the long-term.

Went for a run to compare pre-lockdown times and now post-lockdown times.

I've signed up as well. Think the plan is to do the actual route on the day. I haven't done much at all over the last month so will be a hard 3 & 1/2 months training. Not a hope of beating my previous time given traffic and no water stations so I think we'll be stopping every 10k for water at a shop.

we're going to get caught with traffic no matter where we try to do the distance. Once we get out of the city centre and up towards the phoenix park we should be ok. Being a bank holiday weekend traffic should be light enough anyway. Only talking about it over lunch and plan is to stop in Castleknock, Doplhins Barn/Walkinston, Miltown and then finish at Merrion square. Then to the pub.
