While not exclusively the breakfast of champions, pasta is a simple and nutritious food which can be enjoyed at anytime and the Living Section of the Miele.co.uk website has plenty of useful articles, from healthy eating guides to recipes for Creamy Mushroom Tagliatelli.

Why not try some of the serving suggestions and if you’re competing in the marathon yourself and are not quite sick of the stuff yet, it’s makes the perfect recovery food.
