sharing the Chocolate news of an article in Women's Running magazine - when a small amount of dark chocolate is eaten in combination with exercise performance is boosted by 50 percent (if you are a mouse) the science bit says - plant compound epicatechin stimulates muscle growth in a similar way to exercise apparently
little squares of G&B dark chocolate can sit with the bananas for post run comfort 
Hmm I like the sound of this...well if science says I should eat chocolate I better not argue
Blimey I do believe we are talking ourselves into chocolate and wine being the perfect training diet!
This is turning into an awesome place
I've been telling my husband this for years. Glad there's now scientific proof! Must admit I've got a bar of dark chocolate secreted away that gets nibbled after each run. Now, wonder why I'm not losing weight?
Giggling Greg - it is indeed an awesome place
I can't eat chocolate so I think I'll just have to have extra wine poor me
My problem is the a couple of square of chocolate turns into a whole bar....
There is no success without hardship. (Sophocles)
There is a time for slow & steady....
Post-run snacks? (Chocolate milk/peanut butter!)

What is a good time for running?
