Back when I was a struggling 5 km runner (sorry Brian, really have to borrow this line hehehehe)…. I was stucked in 183lbs body made of flesh and bone. Me at 183lbs. First race- Condura 2009 5km I was a clueless runner then. I have no watch to time myself, was using wrong shoes, wrong apparel and wrong source of electrolyte for my runs. I was using those “colored beans”. And it left a nasty color on my tongue
