I can never lie in â politics gave me that. I start the day with a stylised coffee-making ritual that involves grinding coffee beans. But coffee isnât breakfast. That comes mid-morning after a fasted run â if Iâm feeling virtuous! Iâll cook bacon, lean sausages, mushrooms and eggs, or a cheesy omelette, so whoeverâs in the house gets a really good breakfast.
