The Art of Extreme Tapering #2

A retrospective "food diary" capturing today's intake gives me an additional reason to look forward to the impending end of my sabbatical from running (ONE WEEK TO GO!)

Today was a little unusual - I went on a training course where there was - Hallelujah! - an endless supply of pastries, biscuits plus a buffet lunch. Fortunately the novelty of bike commutes continues so some concerted pedalling made its contribution, but I probably needed to do an Ironman to burn off today's carbo (and junk food) loading orgy.

Eating well, carbo loading and staying hydrated, the extreme approach:


  • Bowl of NestlĂ© Clusters
  • Cup of tea
  • Chocolate croissant
  • Almond croissant
  • Cup of coffee
  • Chocolate cookie
  • Custard pastry
  • One round on the gratis buffet
  • Another round on the gratis buffet
  • Cup of tea
  • "Tasting menu" (one of each of the puddings from the gratis buffet)
  • Cheeky extra flapjack
  • Cup of tea
  • 2-3 extra biscuits
  • Home made latte
  • Tuna, courgette and tomato risotto
  • 2 glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon
