Just confirming the above really, a quick search suggests between 500 and 700 calories, so I'd put 600!

Why is having one diet coke a day problematic? I'd say carry on as you are.

Yes to layering and some bright/reflective clothing, although you are rarely as cold as you think you're going to be. Running with a friend always feels safer. You could always mix things up a bit e.g. do short sprints or hill sprints so that you can stay in roughly the same place, get a skipping rope and use that in your…

With regards to hydration, if you're running for less than one hour, it's more important to be sufficiently hydrated before you leave and you shouldn't need to take anything with you. If you are running first thing, maybe drinking a glass of water immediately before you leave might help. I had problems with my hip too, it…
