I'm over half way in my Channel swim and have just five weeks to go to swim the last 9 miles. I thought I'd be feeling super-fit by now; actually I've just felt shattered so far. But recently Kirsty reminded me that I need to be stocking up on protein and carbs in order to replenish my energy. Now why didn't I think of that?
So I have decided to follow my health and fitness guru's lead and start using chia seeds in my breakfast. I have been watching him sprinkling this stuff into his muesli every morning for months but its resemblance to fag ash has prevented me from following suit. However, this last few days, I have discovered that it actually tastes pretty good mixed into porridge, especially with banana and maple syrup on top.
And I really do feel more energetic. Calais, here I come!
