Nearly 20 grams of protein in 80 calories. As clean as you like. Yum
That would be nice deep fried in batter with chips.

I use it instead of protein bars for a quick, low calorie protein fix.

Takes 3 minutes in the microwave to cook two of them, 39g of protein, 161 calories.

What do they look and taste like after you microwave them? The ones from Morrisons looked pretty tuff and didn't have much taste to them.

Tender, largely tasteless.

Not eating them for their flavour

There will be pacemakers this year for sub 50, 55 and 1 hour times including a devestatingly handsome chap doing a sub 50 pace so you can get behind one of them and if you have anything left in the final 1000 meters open up a bit.

My moan today fitness wise. Early morning run, cold, wet and I didn't tape up my hairy man-nipples. As I result I look like I've been shot twice

Ouch, that's not something I've ever suffered from due to the absence of any muscle definition in my chest.... or is the pot belly preventing material rubbing the nipple area.

Pacemaker sounds like a great idea. In the unlikely event that there are 2 devestatingly handsome chaps in the event, how does one identify the 50 minute pacemaker?

My gripe today - bloody hip bursitis is playing up again. I had planned to do a long run today but during yesterday's shorter run the old injury started acting up. I'm hoping that resting it today will allow me out tomorrow

We will have hi-viz vests on and probably a balloon tied to us so we can easily be seen. Not sure if there will be one for each starting pen yet, hopefully there will be.

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?

My last long run before my first 10k in 2 weeks time and very pleased.
I ran 12K in 1hr 2min, the first 10k being in 49mins 55secs. I also ran the first 5k in under 24 mins so 3 personal bests in the same run

It was perfect conditions right enough.

No hip pain during run although I'm feeling a little discomfort now.

I'll now take Deek's advice and scale down the training a bit. Maybe do 3 more 5-6K runs.

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?

How is everyone doing. I have got back into my walking again and so far pain free so hope it stays like that. I couldn't get out today as the showers have been really heavy so instead done all the things I needed to do around the house so I suppose that was dong exercise as well. Since I started doing the walking again a bit of my stomach has started to reduce so I'm going to keep the exercise up as long as the pain doesn't come back.

It great to be pain free again and to be able to do the small things I took for granted. Who thought that I would start to Appricate being able to do housework but it was so so good

Good Stuff. A fit woman with a clean house, every man's dream.

Seriously though, that's good you're feeling the benefit. Listen to your body though, don't push it if you feel even the slightest pain returning.

Dont know about the fit part but I was getting so bored and in pain all them time it was so so good even to do boring housework. I take pain killers at night so that helps. I have reduced them from taking them during the day and so far so good. Thanks so much for your support. It means a lot

I caught sight of you pacemakers on the stage at the warm up but never saw you again. I'm sure I couldn't have passed you Deek without noticing your luminous top It's also probable that the devastatingly handsome guy couldn't make it either. I didn't notice anybody fitting that description anyway

Anyhow finished in 48:09 so very pleased with that. The run didn't quite pan out the way I expected. I was hoping to run sub 5min kilometres for the first 6 or 7k and then hang on to get a sub 50 time.

I didn't get doing that because it's so busy at the start. I couldn't get a steady pace at all. Got through 2 Km in about 11 minutes so thought I'd struggle to get sub50. I got a good pace going for the next 7km but was running out of steam in the last km. I now wish I'd dug in a bit and I might have got under 48 minutes...... still there's always next year. ....or the Great Scottish run in September...
