Hello all,
After running my first race today (5 miles in 43 minutes), I thought I'd share my pre-race high carbohydrate secrets. It's called 'pie power'. You see, as my bourfriend had reached the age of 34 without ever having eaten pie, I decided that this needed to change. So I made a blackberry and apple pie in the afternoon, which we ate whilst watching some telly. Later in the evening, he urged me to eat more pie, saying that I needed all the 'pie power' I could get, but alas, I was quite full already.
Anyway, my race today went well, so it must have worked. So everybody, start baking, as I think that this only works with the homemade variety.
Cheers,
Hild

I must say your pie suggestion sounds infinitely more appetising than Big Tim's bird seed dish which sounds a bit too much like Rose Elliott on a particularly earnest day.
Still, who am I to quibble with what works for you Tim!
I also ate pizza that day, so perhaps some special chemistry was going on.
Big Tim - are there any other tempting recipes in your book?
With recipes by runners like Ron Hill & Bill Jordon [Jordons cereals]
Another favourite is Chicken With Mango Stir Fry.
Oh & millet is supposed to have three times the carbohydrate as brown rice!!!!!!
Ever tried quinoa? It's a magical wonder grain (loads o' protein) from South America.
Thanks for the book info, I'll see what there is about it on Amazon.
