This has never worked for me mind you. After a few small sips of a rather strong cider called Red Dragon at a beer festival last weekend I was dancing at I came home and signed up to do the park run which started yesterday. Prior to this I was just talking about doing it! I ran the thing and improved my time from 43 mins back in the summer when it was so hot to 35.29. I nearly made it round but had a little stroll towards the end. Not too disappointed though as have twonked about on all my runs since the sponsored one and haven't tried to do 5K since then! I am not a natural runner but I did really enjoy it today and it costs nowt. There is no doubt it benefits my mental health which far outweighs the slog of heaving my carcase around the course!
