I'd take a dose the evening before and then another on the morning. The Beet it shots are worse tasting then beetroot itself, I can stomach the 95% beetroot with a dash of Apple by Crawfords (think it's Crawfords, you can get 1l cartons in sainsburys for about £2.50). Best of luck all marathoning this weekend, looking forward to watching the tracker 👍

mph.run Apr 2019 5:59am, 25 Apr 2019 8 posts	0 mph.run I went during my lunch hour, some nice NB gear which took up 95% of my visit, I then had to scoot through the stalls so didn't really see much, but look very much of the same!

As a bit of a rarity in that start I should be easy to spot - scrawny with a blond pony tail. My favourite flapjack maker has a stand at the expo this year - would highly recommend them to anyone attending: flapjackery.co.uk
