Well after 1 week of pounding the tread mill I decided I better get outside , so I got an early night in and got up at had a brisk walk to the common where I then did a 20 minute run - no stopping. I'm so pleased with myself (I know to you lot thats not much but to me its a miracle)
Now I must go and have a shower before I dissolve into a puddle and then devour a big bowl of Alpen
Question tho - is Alpen healthy? And what should I be eating for breakfast after a run?

I went out this morning too and managed my usual 10k route in 63 minutes-so I'm getting there. This was the woman who couldn't run for a bus 6 months ago!.
Alpen is yummy therefore must be healthy - I'm reliably informed that bananas are good too both pre and post run.
As for post run food they say a high carbo within half an hour is important and so is drinking to replace fluid loss - so thats much orange juice.
