Used to hate beetrooot but now love it.
However, it does make your pee and funny colour and so I don't think I'd have loads of it. I'll stick with being slower!!

The rivers of Kentmere will be flowing pink next week. I've decided on a little experiment. They say to notice any benefit at all you need to drink it everyday for a week prior to exercise. I'm gonna down about 500mls a day from now until next weekend's Horseshoe race to see if I notice any effects. Luckily, the taste isn't an issue as I really like the stuff.
My old cycling coach drinks it all the time and he's a world masters cycling champ on the track!
Beetroot, carrot, apple and ginger makes a lovely juice. I'm going to start making it by the gallon I think...just in case like...
Tried this for the first time today - at room temperature I found it nauseating - it might be better cold from the fridge. I really like beetroot as a vegetable.
not sure about the juice, but I've become addicted to boiled Beetroots....!
I like beetroot, but it does have a mild laxative effect on me, so I try and avoid early morning runs after tucking in the night before, otherwise it can get messy,
Read about the research HERE. I drink half a mug of beetroot juice every morning. I began because I hoped it might make me run faster. This has been a total failure. BUT I think it has helped my Raynauds so it's well worth continuing. (This makes sense as it is supposed to help circulation). I don't like the taste, but I add a large dollop of tomato puree, which makes it more acceptable.
I agree about the laxative effects - in fact it is the most powerful laxative I know, which can be useful sometimes.

Tao begets one. One begets two. Two begets all things.
