Yesterday’s run vlog! 13 miles around Roadford Lake, Devon 🌲
Lovely mix of trail and road running with lots of glimmers along the way - the mist over the lake in the early morning was hard to capture on video but it was very peaceful, and I enjoyed nosing at the lovely houses and saying hi to the calves!
My goal with these vlogs is just to show the joy of being active and outdoors, maybe provide a bit of escapism or inspire someone to get some fresh air. Also to show what is possible when you start to find joy in exercise - past me was so proud to run 5km, and never would’ve dreamed that I could casually run a half marathon for fun. My intention here is not to brag, but rather to recommend that you don’t underestimate yourself!
Fuelling ‘strategy’ (if you call eating a strategy 🤪):
🍌 Pre run: Cinnamon raisin bagel with peanut butter and banana.
🍬 During: 1x gel, Biscoff flapjack and a Susie snake 🐍
🫘 After: A tin of cold baked beans (we’ve already established that this is controversial but it really did the trick!). Ramblejack (a Devon specialty, it’s a date and walnut flapjack). Then a huge pizza and garlic bread for lunch 🍕 and a lot more snacks…
You can’t perform without fuel ⛽️ feed yourself, friends!
