The running thread!

I dont eat much before a run but drink plenty. I am hungry after a run as well. I normally have some sort of fish. Yesterday I hankered after chocolate so ate half a pack of jaffa cakes.

My knees today are not good at all. I will rest up now until Monday.

Glad to hear it!

When I was training for the marathon, on my long runs I used to take a couple of slices of malt loaf and eat them about 6 miles into the run......always got some funny looks.

Goodness, I cannot eat anything for at least an hour before a run, let alone eat anything during lol and definitely don't feel hungry afterwards.

I do eat though

Did you not get a stitch?
I'm like foxy, I can't eat anything before a run. Even if I drink too much when I'm running I can feel a stitch coming on

50 mins on the tredwmill today at 7kmph with a 15% incline

mixture of walking and running

Two LARGE Toblerones was that before or after your 4 mile run

Made sure that this afternoon's effort was 6 miles. In fact it was more, I haven't driven it yet but I'd guess at 6.5, maybe slightly less, but I know it was more than 6 cos I did yesterday's driven route plus a bit more. Back in 57 mins but I met a friend and forgot to stop my watch, I reckon we were yapping for about 4 mins, so 53 mins for 6.5. Very happy with that.

I wish I was out there now running.

It is hard to not go put the kit on and knock a few miles out.

You stopped in the middle of a run to have a chat? I stop for no one.
