    i dont know how any one runs in the morning. if i didnt eat, i would probably faint or feel sick, if i ate id get pains or need the toilet. i feel like i can run better in the evenings, providing i havent eaten for a while

    Easy, I am never hungry so going a period without food is never an issue



    I carry a gel and a bar just in case



    All comes down to training and what you eat, the body adapts

    1 hr 50 today on the bike but up at a very civil 5am to be out by 0515



    Emily - I ate nothing but took a drink with me :`)



    Where is everyone ?
  • Options

    Morning - I'm here! Short 45 min run as I have a big weekend ahead, Bath Endurance which is IM distance swim and bike on Sat and half marathon on Sun. Through the Mendips and Cheddar Gorge which I don't think you were thrilled with Gobi?

  • Options

    Gobi:I'm here. Thought I'd posted on here before I went out. Doh !

    35 mins Steadily done off road. Decent run. Sun shining and dry with no wind.

    NW 1 snail, 2 squirrels, 2 dogs, 1 white cat sitting on a fence and Geordie completely ignored it: 2 cyclist. Yup 'our Sky Cyclist' was there. Credit to him he's out every day.

    12 beer kegs. Must have been a really heavy night last night.

    KateF - just wasn't as hard or interesting as I expected it to be. I think magazines overhype some places and this was one of them. :`)



    Birky - maybe he really is a Sky Cyclist



    Must admit saw a chap in Cannondale kit today right down to the correct bike.

    morning 

    I am here too but was in bed when you were all out! Still not feeling great but better than yesterday. Need to make some kind of decision about the weekend - I am supposed to be doing the Outlaw half ironman. I don't think my body is up to it to be honest with myself. Wondering about just doing the swim then withdrawing.

    kate - busy weekend, have fun, at least the rain seems to be stopping

    have entered the Barcelona half mara next Feb!! We are going to make a week of it  as it falls at the start of half term image

    I'm here too.... just!

    Maths, hope you are feeling better...

    Gobi, I'm in awe of your SOC rides!  Way too organised.  Running is easy, just fall out of the door and go!

    Emily - try it, you might just surprise yourself! image  Quick drink and go.  Should be fine for an hour or two then a big breakfast when you get back with your metabolism buzzing with energy.

    Kate, wow, that's some weekend.

    I'm in student recovery mode this weekend as Junior finishes year 1 at uni today.  So will be picking him up, packing his room up and probably cleaning it too.  Home alone at the moment as OH is a volunteer at the Hyde Park World Tri champs.  Whoop whoop..

    Evening all

    Busy week editing some films for Human Race Events and this one for we filmed for Beyond Marathon.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Th-P3xipao

    SOC running most mornings but up at 03:40 this morning to take my son and his girlfriend to Gatwick so went back to bed and slept through until 9:30! 

    Off to Morocco in a week's time to cover the Trans Atlas Marathon. The more I learn about that race the more I'm tempted to enter the 2015 event! 

    Have a good weekend!

    Morning..

    Out for a nice run with Rusty this morning. Quite warm here and especially so for the army cadets we came across, drenched in sweat and carrying full kit with massive bergans! Not much fun for them but I guess character building stuff!

    Swim at Frensham later...Kate, the Algae's all gone and the water quality is excellent! And it's warm enough to swim wetsuitless!

    Hello all - hard old day yesterday, the swim was in an old quarry which was stunning and strange to be in clear water, but with it going to 40'feet deep was cold so I had a slow swim. Mr F cranked out 1.07 for 3.8K so was very pleased. Didn't read the bike instructions properly so thought there was only 3000 feet of climbing, it turned out to be that for each 56 mile lap. Long day but very pleased with a faster second lap, Cheddar Gorge is a strange one Gobi, there is one corner which is really hard, other than that all manageable with the second half quite a quick uphill. Only used my left hand gears once so my quads are frowning at me today. Decided not to do the run today or we would finish late and get caught in A303 half term traffic so a nice 8.5 mile NOC run. Good mileage valis. Hope you're feeling better MC. Chris, maybe next weekend!
