yup, which is exactly why i run for 30 minutes every morning BEFORE i have any food/drink at all. Real slowly..to increase my body's ability and efficiency to burn fat as opposed to carb..

A 'perfect' breakfast is when i am not treating my body like a machine and simply enjoying it.

Plus, i eat a pretty fatty diet. I am trying to train my body to burn fat, so i need to fuel it with fat.

And it works. In my last Ironman, i took 38minutes off my marathon time and im 100% sure it was down to correct race nutrition and also 10 weeks of training my body to burn fat more efficiently.

Why cant you be like any normal Scot?

Deep fried Mars Bars, Vodka Irn Bru by the bucketload & gallons of "Heavy'!

I was that man 20Kg and 4 years ago. Pickled my liver in the navy for over a decade. Now time to be healthy for my kids. My 10year old, apart from finding my lycra wearing a little strange, thinks its mega cool that her old man races Ironman triathlon.

I drink red wine most nights when I'm not training for an event..does that suffice? ;-)

Its getting there as long as its a full bottle, followed by a gallon of Stella!
