Personal worst

OK so it might sounds like an exaggeration with a title like "personal worst".

I am a fairly good judge of when things are going pear shaped and at the moment that's a pretty good estimation.

And, there are also stats to prove it.

(Avoiding the) Taper Tummy

It's taper time. It's two weeks until the Kurrawa2Duranbah.

Taper means less volume, and usually some higher intensity work. Taper is the time you tell yourself that the physical side is done and all that's left to do is to keep yourself healthy and work on the mental side of your game.

For me, taper also means taming the appetite to avoid what I've come to call "taper tummy".

If all else fails Part Two

Thanks for your feedback from my last post, both here and on Facebook.

This is a follow up post, but you'll notice I've called it 'part two' not 'number two'. (Sorry. I'll try to resist any more poo jokes.)

I've learned a lot since Part One, both about blogging and about runners bowel. It's only fair I share my insights.

Home made training food

OK, so 'home made training food' isn't the most enticing blog title ever, but this is a fairly factual post... I don't know what else to call it.

I never thought I'd be the type to be so particular about what I put in to my body that I'd bother to make my own training food. After successfully detoxing though I was determined not to go straight back to my old habits so just like when I detoxed, I've made the time to experiment.

We've found a winner that's easy to make and eat, is wheat and dairy free, and delicious.

The detox debrief

I know, it's been a while. Some of you might even have felt concern that I might have died as a result of detoxing...

I'm happy to admit that it was a bit of a risk for me, having never done anything quite like this before. But I'm proud to report that I've taken control and conquered the detox, and as today's my last official day of detoxing, I'm looking forward to life after.

What's it like to detox? And does it really work? Read on to have your questions answered.
