Discussion: Cake time

Why did you eat cake right before intervals?

cake intervals are a vital part of training. ask any elite runner

Do you not eat cake before your intervals?

I don't get how that can even be a question David. I need energy in order to run. It's the Swedish way

I see, only Swedes use energy

We're going to test this in the future.

If I'm ever at the coaching zone for you at future races, I will be waiting with a piece of cake. If you don't take the time to savor that cake, we're taking you out of the race. I don't want you to run without energy.

It will be the rise of the US team!

Is this how we podium at WOC and JWOC?!?

Yes, it is, Bridget. The US team's secret weapon is eating pre-race cake that is puked up within the first 5 minutes.

I might take a hiatus from the team and check back in on you guys later.

Greg, we're going to be better than we ever have been after finding out this secret little trick. Just you wait.
