I love running in my Skins tights. They probably don't make me faster (superb placebo though), but they absolutely help with recovery after a long run. Plus I find it ridiculously comfortable to run all squished in.

Buy any Ottolenghi cookbook. Not exclusively vegetarian but they are stuffed with brilliant veggie recipes.

Yup, especially after my evening teas. If I push my lower right quadrant of my belly iT sounds like the ocean.

Yup love my Braun immersion blender. Perfect for soups, sauces and smoothies. Though I use my proper blender for tough smoothies with kale or chia seeds.

Don't know if it works on hands but I sometimes spray a little deodorant on the inside of my elbows on a long sweaty run.

I like my light mayo. 40 cals for 15 ml. Seems like an ok deal.

I use 75 grams dry. Not too many cals but still a satsfying portion. Though next pasta day I 'm going to try 50 g spaghetti and one spiralised courgette.

My 10k run yesterday put me at 740.

Yeah I seriously crave salt after a run.

I'm not burning that much yet (10k today) but I look foreward to some substantial amount of those (a teaspoon of peanut utter or 2 squares of chockie are not enough)

I just boiled some spaghetti for tonight as a taste test. If the reheating doesn't make the texture much worse I'll be doing it again. Not just for the whole glucose thing, but more colon friendly fiber would be awesome.

Wear two bras. One regular but comfortable underwire bra. This bra is for holding your boobs up. Then 1 or two squish layers, good heavy duty sports bras. These can be one cupsize smaller. At least this is what works for me. The up then squished method works best for me and no one bra has been able to do it on their own.
