Had a cracking weekend in Arboath. Met some fascinating characters

I've been given two opposing pieces of advice about running training (both by Pongo PTI's). One said that you shouldn't run in the morning or within four hours of waking up. The other said that first thing in the morning is the best time to run as the body's metabolism is firing alone from sleep. An...
