Cutting to the chase, I have to announce that my pb streak has come to an end.
I’m blaming the muesli.
I’ve just started keeping a food log on my trainingpeaks account which means I have to weigh everything before I put it on my plate. I tipped the recommended 50g of muesli into my bowl and decided the portion sizes must have been determined for kids (skinny ones at that) so I took it up to 75g. Then a stray raisin tipped over the edge taking it 78g so of course I had to continue to round the number off. Let me say, running on 100g of muesli is tough going!

Blaming it on a raisin? I’ll have to remember that one.
Surely you have to blame the eater and not the eated for not getting a PB?
What?! Who is this Dr Nitrition? Eat less run faster - no it cannot be. Surely I can get a sub 30 min pb with the judicial purchase of go faster gadgets?

But what about the bacon, eggs & toast, surely they’re on the list.

Like 34.30 is NOT fast!! Let me just say it is, again, a mighty impressive time! Well done!!! (I remain green with jealousy.)

You eat muesli? I thought they just put it on the shelves in supermarkets so we could bask in the general idea that some people look after their health. I also thought people bought it so other people could see it in their shopping basket. I didn’t realise there were people who actually ate it.
34.30 isn’t fast! It’s toward the very tail end of the results. The world record for 10k on the road is 27:04, now that’s fast! Very good club runners do 10k in 34 mins.
Fighting talk is it!
How fast is Dr Nutrition then?

I have also started a food diary and got myself some good scales. Its shocking the amount of food and calories i thought i was taking. 2400 a day? no i was consuming about 3500, im glad i run 
Not fighting talk - just being truthful/honest rather than pretending for the sake of being nice.
If a 2CV was the only car in existence it would be seen as fast thanks to relativity, but there are Ferraris and Aston Martins out there - so they are fast, and the 2CV cannot be classed as speedy.
How fast am I? Consider myself a BMW M5 or above.

Muesli…eurgh. I’d have to stop every 20 yards to be sick! Somehow it only works for me in yoghurt, or I gag on the stuff!! Bananas seem to be the key to a good run in my experience.

HI,
I love my museli, but I’ve reduced the portion from 50g to 30g because it makes me feel sick and bloated if i have too much. Just working my way through your posts!
LOL! sounds like when I was on the old weight watchers a few years ago - I couldn’t believe how many points a handful of cornflakes would cost… knocked them on the head and started eating a pan full of mushrooms (no points) every morning for brekkie YUM.
