Training Aid

The stark reminder on Sunday of my just too tired legs and the building up of fatigue has forced a bit of an ease down these last few days. Plenty of smell the roses type running, skipping through trail and woodland has revived the running soul and given M & I some quality time running together for a change. No hard sessions allowed until the weekend at least and instead some time to reflect on training so far, my next steps and possible aids to be integrated into future training.

A particular discovery, introduced by M's sis this week has proved to be a vital tool for inclusion in any true athlete's regime. I would even go so far as to suggest this is a true innovation in the development of modern sports' science and destined to be a permanent fixture in any elite programme of training. I'm referring to the waffle iron readers. Yes, the Waffle Iron. I've just received a very early b'day pressie through the post and have trialled the contraption tonight. Yes those golden, grid-shaped slices of gastronomic gorgeousness have proved to be just the therapeutic intervention I needed and may well turn things around. Of course, like any new regime one shouldn't be hasty to adopt new practices all at once. I've started with one or two waffles as an introduction to the regime. I'll build up steadily from there. Ah waffles, the fuel of champions.

That's the just the news I like to hear. I can't wait to get started and to ditch the tuna and salads.

You jest, Sarah. But, of course, it's always been believed that the waffle iron inspired
Bob Bowerman to develop the waffle outersole NIKE shoes in 1974 when he poured rubber into it. So you are correct, it is the power behind many champions starting back then with Steve Prefontaine.

This time last year I was in Mexico having those same waffles for breakfast everyday and not having to worry about running a marathon on Sunday !
