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?
That looks absolutely lovely.
Thank you Stephen, hope you are doing well. Parkrun tomorrow?
Unfortunately not, as I am returning from a few days in Scotland. But next week definitely! Hope you are well and raring to go for it tomorrow.
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 😯😯😯
Wow, JaoJao. That’s great news. Well done!
Carb loading for parkrun or carb recovery???
Ooh - can I do the magic plan again? That looks luscious. 🤤
Yummy yum yum. What a great treat! 💕
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?
I’m not on the plan... but I’ll take one of that in the photo... maybe six
Ah bless I’ll bake some more then!
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 🤣
Haha, noted!
Cheese and champagne...!
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.
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
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! 🎵👌
I totally agree and I think the sound is great. Very happy indeed 😊
Here's to happy safer running! 🍻
And plenty more treats.
Hell yes! You've proven the power of chocolate cake with a park run PB! That's all the evidence I need... 😁🎂
I keep pinching myself can’t quite believe it is true what happened today
It's great when you surprise yourself isn't it? You should be proud, that's a fantastic achievement! 🏆
Looks yummy!! After a very wet run this morning I made myself some pancakes with syrup! Would have taken a photo but they disappeared too quickly 😁
That cake looks amazing my mouth is watering 😂you have definitely earned your treat JaoJao x
Thank you KevTrev! It certainly feels like it this morning after a PB at Parkrun, my first in many weeks, so so happy! More chocolate cake this morning too post run!
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 😍
My treat is going to be a cooked breakfast at my fav’ café!
Enjoy!
A running belt for me
Although I wish I had cake !
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!
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 🙂
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
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 😯
An uninterrupted couple of hours watching Netflix in the afternoon - perfect treat for a busy mum
Wow! That looks fabulous! A real treat.
