Surprisingly good times - typically under 9 min/km.
Schedule got juggled, because the World Quizzing Championships was at 1pm.
So, I decided to get the run in before - as part of my reason for doing this is to get out in the sun - and do strength training in the evening.
Felt fine during quizzing ; did some grocery shopping at Whole Paycheck afterwards.
Started dinner when I got home (beef short ribs, which take a while in the oven).
As such, didn't get down to the gym until after 8pm, was again feeling a little sluggish, and it showed.
That's twice now where I hadn't eaten for a long stretch (8+ hours at least) after my long run, and both times I was performing a couple of notches below.
What I learned : I need to eat reasonably soon after my long run.
Thankfully, the short ribs were fucking delicious. I should have bought (and made) more.
Recipe : Lazy Beef Short Ribs
Ingredients:
- 700g beef short ribs (preferably grass fed)
- assorted spices (I used salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion flakes, smoked paprika)
- ~100ml chicken stock
- avocado oil
Steps:
- preheat the oven to 400F
- line a baking dish with foil
- cut the ribs up into 1-bone chunks
- coat the ribs with a little avocado oil
- season generously
- put ribs in baking dish and put in oven
- after 15 minutes, flip ribs over, add chicken stock, cover tightly with foil and turn oven down to 275F
- let ribs bake until very tender, at least 3-4 hours more, depending on how you like them (3 hours for a little chew, 4 hours for meltingly tender)
- pour off the cooking liquid, and use as a jus/sauce. NB - pour off some of the fat if you wish, I just poured it onto my veggies for extra flavour!
- enjoy!
-tak! thbbft!
