I must now be a runner!--

why else would I get up at 4AM to eat two bananas and a slice of white bread soaked in honey??? - in preparation for my 7AM parkrun.

Haven't quite done that yet - but certainly have thought I ought to!! Bizarre what we do.

Maybe it's just because you're crazy. 😝

Oh, wait... that too is a characteristic of a runner! 😁

Well - it worked!!!! The idea was to stock up on some medium to High GI carbs before the run - normally I go to parkrun with a cup of black coffee in my stomach. I DID feel a lot stronger today and ran 31:20 - the fastest for about 6 months!! Fairly high average HR though - 90% of HrMax for 4.5 of the 5K!!

So 2 bananas and a toast with honey did the trick? I will need to try this. Absolutely.

7 AM? That's early...congrats on your time.

Or you could just be bonkers ... wow 7am is so not tempting. Many people turn up for that?

260 this morning!!! It really needs to be 6AM during our summer - 7AM is OK for our winter.

Bazza, you're definitely a runner!

I think we're all slightly on the bonkers spectrum 😀🏃 xx

That's quite a feast
