Just set up a new category so my first blog on Nutrition. For a runner fuel is everything, like all machines with moving parts if you run out of fuel, or put the wrong fuel in, there’s going to be problems. I’ll go into detail regarding my views on the right food to fuel you but needless to say my first tip is to avoid man made sugar. If you learn nothing from this blog site but this, my job is done.
Great morning for a run. Usual suspects all running a Park Run and because I have to drop the Wife and No1 Daughter at the airport tomorrow I had to go long by myself. Longs runs by yourself are a good time to reflect on ‘stuff’., anything really. Makes the K’s disappear if you can drift away and ponder. Today was an easy run until I heard footsteps behind me and then ‘it was on’ for 5k. Can’t be seen to be over taken. The vanity of a runner. After that runner was dispatched it was back to 4.15min/k pace until the end of the run which coincided with the local park run and a nice warm down with some friends. All in all a good mornings work and moving along to 130k for the week so far, and run number 11 for the week.
Hello and welcome to the ‘ramblings of a runner’. I hope to install in you my passion for all things running and also encourage a healthier lifestyle and general wellness. Exciting times. It has taken me the best part of 4 hours to work out how to buy a domain, link it to software built for blogging and type this first post. So lets publish this and then I’m off to bed to recover.
