So after a brief hiatus due to training for a 5 mile elevation run - I am back. I have not done any strength training in two months :( but I am ready to jump back into it. I ate whatever I wanted (within reason still snacked on protein bars) and good news is I didn't gain any weight. Bad news, surprise surprise, even with all of my intense cardio I didn't lose any weight. I am ready to shed 40 lbs of fat. I am thinking I do not need to do a metabolism reset since I know my calorie intake was high. What do you all think?

P.S. I am currently training for a mud run in September. I do love my cardio, but trying to make strength training a more integral part of my workouts.

    Welcome back! I took a break and came back at the start of the month, loving how I feel already.

    I'm trying to fit strength into my running training, unlike you I'm not training for anything specific atm although there's a 1/2 marathon I've got my eye on in just over 12 months....

    I've recently started YAYOG - I find it's less hassle than faffing around with equipment. Only done it this wee though.

    Good luck with your progress, add me if you'd like some, support!

    Since you intake was high, then shoot for tdee-10% and see how it goes while making strength training a focal point with the cardio in between.
