This week I set my fastest time since the incident but I am still nearly 30 seconds away from what I did 2 weeks before the incident. 


Then this morning I was feeling pretty good and run, fasted, up the steepest and longest hill in the area. On strava it is actually a segment and I got a new PB for the route, not bad for a solo effort the day after parkrun.

I haven't been eating as much liver as I used to but it could also be through malabsorption as whilst my IBS is better it is far from perfect. With the amount I have been running I have tried to up fat and that ups the IBS and things might have spiralled from there.  Not content with that I was also scheduled in for some minor surgery, nothing related to running or carnivore and just one of those things.  You’ll be seen in the morning they told me…. well come 3:30 I was finally seen having not eaten since 3pm the day before (due to running at 7 with my club and IF) and not having drunk since 6am (as instructed). They wheeled me into the room to perform the general ...
