Like many people I ate way way too much yesterday. Went out today and had a lovely run. It felt easy, heart rate was down and had energy left at the end.
I've also noticed how many other people here have had lovely runs today (Beachcomber66 , cheekychipmunks to name but two).
Could it be that a huge roast, followed by Christmas pudding with lashings of cream, and a few glasses of your favourite tipple, is actually a good way of preparing for the next days run?
Food for thought!

Hehe I like your thinking. There is carb loading and then there is carb loading 😂😂😂. Joking aside I am sure that for some the extra calories will make a difference especially if you are trying to lose weight with a calorie deficit, when I train for my HM I try to balance my diet so as not to lose because then my training is stronger. I tend to diet between June and December and then as my training gets harder Jan to May I try to keep my weight the same, that way I know I am having enough calories that I need for my training.
Unfortunately I didn't feel the same, I found my run really hard going today and only managed 20 mins. I'm not going to beat myself up tho as this time last year I wouldn't have moved off the couch all day and I would have been surrounded by choccie wrappers! I shall be more determined next run to get back to 30 mins!
