I can hook you up with Froomey if you like. He’s got a few wheezes that help with those kind of things.

whoa, my wife has an inhaler…how many puffs before I’m stripped of the title?

you need to carb load. definitely the night before, possibly even week leading up to it.

lots of pasta is good, chips also work. couple of pints should also sort you out.

you’ve got this, mate.

this, don’t do what I did one year and wear trainers with really worn soles

By the time i’d stopped running on the spot like in a cartoon on the dewy grass the rest of the field was half way down the track

really thought it was my year too

that’s fine. you should probably be tapering just now anyway.

Oh, this is essential the night before and possibly even the morning of your race. Need to make sure you’re well hydrated.

Crack a raw egg into your mouth on the starting line. If nothing else, it might unsettle your competitors.

I read morning as middle. A bold tactic but I think it could work.

night before, absolutely. On the day, no, as I don’t want to spoil my appetite for the presentation bottle of champagne (hate it when people just spray about and don’t drink and need to set a good example to the kids there)

can it be a scotch egg?

As long as it’s raw, yes.

You need to get on the beetroot juice to boost performance.

Warning - it tastes like slurry, but it’s the results that are important, right?

Failing that I can flog you a couple of inhalers…
