Beetroot Power

[don]

Here's one for all you mad feckers doing the XC Marathon Champs at the weekend. Beetroot Juice will add 2.7% more power to your legs if you drink 1/2 a litre before the race. Can't say I've tried it yet but the thoughts of a half a litre of that stuff before a race is enough to make you run faster..... to the nearest loo

Might give that a miss Don. Anyway I don't think 2.7% will be enough to get me on the podium.

45 seconds every 16km.. If I got a decent night's sleep without kids waking me up it might do more good

That's close to a minute for a 40 minute 10km runner! flocking hell I'd drink my own pi*ss for 30 seconds!

500ml would turn the stomach but willing to give it a go though Don, if I do a Catriona mc Kiernan alla London marathon i'm blamin you though

Think you'll find you'd be doing this if you drank that,
