Thanks for reminding me to look for some! Hopefully I can find some where the choco doesn’t have feathers yet

I thought Balut was usually duck eggs?
Give credit where credit is due. He is getting strong AF!
Oh my bad. Thought we were talking about duck eggs. Haha

I’ve signed up for a marathon in 12 weeks… and not just any marathon, but a coast trail running marathon with all the climbing and short swims that come with it.
This brings up all sorts of confessions
- I only signed up because my wife is convinced i couldn’t do it, two of her friends husbands / boyfriends (regular long distance runners) are taking part which is how the topic came up
- Im more than a little nervous about my ability to complete it
- I am a hypocrite, who has long held the pursuit of marathons in contempt and declared on multiple occasions that you wouldn’t get me to do one.
- Im more than a little nervous about how catabolic the next 12 weeks of training are going to be to get my fitness to the point I am able to do this.
- I’m going to continue with the same weights training as I have been recently, simply with more cardio added on top. I know this is probably a bad idea, but I can’t find a palatable compromise.
- The farthest I have run in the last 12-odd years is 5k. Before that I think i’d done a 10k and a 10 mile (both singular) run in my teens.

I had 100g of honeycomb and 40g of dried figs as part of my cheat meal last night… because we ran out of cheese
Having run two marathons myself, I say this from experience: You, sir, are in for a world of hurt.

The plate still exists in my world, and unfortunately there are plenty more where that came from.
Long story…

I love swim-run events. Biking is my kryptonite. Make sure you’re doing trail runs in prep. I did regular runs leading up to a 10 mile trail run and my knees took about a month to recover. Crippling pain.
