I have got two exciting news. First, I am chuffed to be a new regular contributor to The 5K Runner, a blog about “Triathlon, Duathlon, Training & Tech”. Whether you are a light runner or a seasoned triathlete, this is a great source for tips on how to improve your training and read about the latest gadgets.
This ties up nicely with my second news: I am back training. This year for a Sprint Triathlon in June. Super excited to have Graham joining in. Not sure we need couple goals after 17 years, still it is nice to do something together. His biggest challenge will be swimming, mine will be to swim, bike and run faster!!
Increased exercise makes me ravenous, so this time I have decided to be a bit smarter about it and make sure I have balanced pre and post-workout plant-based meals.
This Recovery Protein Bowl with QUORN + Creamy Chipotle Avocado Dressing contains plenty of proteins as well as complex carbs and fat. The chipotle adds a nice kick to the dressing.
Perfect to fill you up after exercise, it is also quick and easy to make. On colder days we indulge in this Quorn chilli recipe.
