So with he race for life tomorrow I decided yesterday to go out just with my music on and to just see how long I could run for (albeit slowly). I walked for the first 1k which is the walk to the park and all up hill but then ran the next 4k with 3 laps round the park and the down hill walk home (went the long way round in to my flats to make that 5k haha. Was very pleased with myself and with a good chance of running almost all or if not all the race for life sunday 😁. Took me 58 minutes yesterday with the heat which I thought wasnt to bad. I cant wait to make tomorrow now 😁. I have a somewhat silly question though what is the best thing to eat for breakfast. The race starts at 11 but got to be there for 10. I do t want to heavy but will need something. What do you guys go for on race day?

Just eat breakfast like you always do....just not anything heavy or greasy and leave at least 1 hr 30 mins before your run..Eat at 9 maybe:)

We do not need extra fuel for short runs.. but we need fuel:)
