Many of us will have completed our 3 runs this week and if you look at the plan carefully you are allowed a TREAT!!! Today I baked this rich and chocolately cake to celebrate Week 1. Although technically I will complete tomorrow after parkrun.

What did you choose as your TREAT?

Yes I am, so tomorrow I will run for both of us 🙂

I pushed and I pushed for both of us and I got a PB! First time I’ve entered into 34 minutes 😯😯😯

JaoJaoGraduate10 in reply toGranspeed

Thank you Granspeed I thought so too. In the later weeks of the magic plan I may buy myself something running related which I can work towards :)

Are you doing JuJu this round?

Not this time - got several “away” trips and 2 lots of house guests in September so it’s an as-and-when running month for me. But I’m watching. 😊 And drooling over cake & strawberries! 👏🏼

I’m not on the plan... but I’ll take one of that in the photo... maybe six

JaoJaoGraduate10 in reply toUnfitNoMore

Ah bless :) I’ll bake some more then!

UnfitNoMoreGraduate10 in reply toJaoJao

My daughter’s goto post long run treat is halo top ice cream, 280-360 calories for the tub... and at the moment one chain has a competitor brand on at £1 a tub. I’m into pickled eggs and a glass of cider.

I hasten to add I’m not a pre-breakfast runner 🤣

Oh that’s taking it up a notch! Lovely idea for a treat Oldfloss!

Wow looks delicious! 😋

I went straight for the big treat which I will now need to earn over the coming weeks.

I bought some wireless bone conductor headphones. Tried them out on my 5k yesterday and was really impressed. No tugging wires, falling out ear buds etc. I could also hear what was going on around me so feel I will be safer, especially as the mornings and evenings get darker.

JaoJao profile image
JaoJaoGraduate10 in reply to

You will put them to good use over the next 8 weeks as part of the plan so that’s pretty well earned and spent :) Good point about staying safe, as it gets darker I may need to alter some of running schedule xx

in reply toJaoJao

Yes I will also have to run after work rather than before and drive to somewhere. Not really looking forward to it to be honest.

I got some for my birthday in July! I read reviews which said that the sound quality wasn't great but honestly I just love them and couldn't run without them now! 🎵👌

in reply toCaffeineBomb

I totally agree and I think the sound is great. Very happy indeed 😊

I'm on week 4 of the time plan and a couple of weeks ago bought myself some Brooks running shoes 👟, then last Sunday after an early long run to avoid the heat I went for a MacDonalds breakfast! 😊

Your cake looks amazing 😍

JaoJao profile image
JaoJaoGraduate10 in reply toRun46

Hope your trainers are looking after you! Mac Donald’s breakfast is a naughty but oh so good treat I might use that one for the coming weeks 😉

A running belt for me

Although I wish I had cake !

JaoJao profile image
JaoJaoGraduate10 in reply toYogaandrun

Running belt is so handy, mines just enough to carry my phone, I may need something slightly bigger. Happy shopping and let us know what you decide on!

Yogaandrun in reply toJaoJao

I went for a running forest one, I'll let you know what I think. Reviews were good

Need yes. Treats - the quite difficult bit of the course. However running seems to be even helping there. So the compromise made myself some flapjacks from reciepe off here on the basis I need the energy but a treat as well. Had one after run this morning - nice 🙂

JaoJao profile image
JaoJaoGraduate10 in reply toSkeg

I wouldn’t say no to home made flapjacks, I might need the Recipe from you.

Wow JaoJao - what an amazing treat! It looks scrumptious! Home baked too - that is a gorgeous looking chocolately cake. Yum!

I must admit that I have already worn my 'treat' - I am going to post about it tomorrow, most likely, when I've finished my third run of Week 1, so I'll hope to link to this reply, once I post it, so you can see what my treat is.

Good luck for your parkrun tomorrow.

Those strawberries look amazing too - and the cream - yum!

I wish I could have a slice with you right now. :-)

Zest :-)

JaoJaoGraduate10 in reply toZest

Ohh yours sounds interesting, I will watch out for it. There was plenty of chocolate cake to go around!!! It’s going to last me all week 😯

The nice thing about treats is that it is guaranteed to keep you running, especially when you make an investment like that :)
