A Better Pre-run Fuel
Typical morning for most runners on dawn patrol:
Snooze your phone 3 times
Get dressed by the closet light
Lose the will to live when you have to eat a dry bagel and bruised banana pre-run
The better alternative:
Snooze your phone 3 times
Get dressed by the closet light
Spread Canyon Crack on a Gluten Free Honey Stinger Waffle
Why it works:
The gluten free version of the Honey Stinger just sits lighter. Could be a placebo. Canyon Crack is like a good mix between a nut butter and a gel. It doesn't have the stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth consistency of peanut butter. It is sweet without being too much at 5 am.
The ratio:
Less than 10 miles: 1 waffle with a heavy schmear of Canyon Crack.
More than 10 miles: 2 waffles, each with a heavy schmear of Canyon Crack.
