    @MegaMooseEsq I disagree. Lifting when in a deficit, assuming proper macronutrient breakout, is a great way to prevent loss of lean tissue and lose fat instead. Lifting is a good thing while in a calorie deficit.


    I agree. I also find my diet vs weight to be MUCH more forgiving when lifting. Like calorie levels that would lead to a gain if running only, dont while lifting. And, even if I eat enough for a gain while lifting, the muscle looks better, and everyone thinks I lost weight anyways. These are among thE MANY reasons I am sad I’m not currently in a town with a gym so I can lift :(

    Although, I get ravenous from lifting much more so than rungries, so it’s probably a good thing lifting makes my diet much more forgiving. A good long run (8+ miles) and the boyfriend or running buddy have to force me to eat afterwards... hour of good lifting and I want ALL THE FOODS

    I also find that I have to be prepared for slower strength gains when lifting in a deficit, or even when trying to pair significant running with significant lifting.


    ETA -if lifting on a deficit, especially if one is prone to low blood pressure, please make sure you are fueled sufficiently prior to lifting - like even a hand full of jelly beans (I’ve even been known to grab some runner gummies if it has been too long since I ate) woozy/passing out while squatting or deadlifting is a bad day...

    @kevaasen - I use the Strava app directly to record my runs and have an Apple Watch that pairs with my HRM. The Strava information on my run is also picked up by my watch/iPhone so I just have to see if the HR info can't go the other direction into Strava - seems like there should be a way to do that but I am pretty much a Strava newbie. I will see about researching it this weekend though.

    @hanlonsk - I never really thought about it but I always eat before or on the way to the gym (carrots and hummus or tangerines when I have them are my favorites) and have to have a snack afterwards. I started lifting before I had ever run and did have a big drop in weight and building muscle and yes I was eating in a deficit too. I have done both now for a while and now that I want to lose again I have not seen any drop in weight but my muscle definition is great. I wish I could see that 15-20 lbs that I gained when I couldn't run get 'lifted' away!

    First day this year where my miles caught up to the same days on my long-term goal.
    To do this in one year it would take 8.644 miles per day, every day.
    So yeh, this is on track to be an 8 year project but hoping to shorten that as fitness improves :smile:

    Probably no run today as we have about 8 or so houses to see. Really hoping to be able to move before getting locked into another year-long lease in this trailer.

    I didn't mean to imply at all that it's a bad thing to lift in a calorie deficit! Just that the emphasis struck me as a little backwards - eating more when I'm lifting less, then eating less when I'm lifting more. And like @hanlonsk mentioned, my lifting doesn't progress quite as well in a deficit. It's still awesome, just not ideal.

    I tried keeping my lifting at the same level when I started running again this year but found that I just wasn't recovering well enough and that trying to schedule recovery time for three full body workouts with weather-dependent running was too much of a headache. I've switched to twice a week lifting and that's been a lot easier to manage. When the weather changes again I'm planning to start a barbell program, either upgrading my home setup or at a gym or both. I'd originally planned to go on a diet break at that point to help build some muscle, but I didn't count on running impacting my calorie intake quite as much as it did.

    @skippygirlsmom Thanks! I do plan on running in college, but not on their team. I hope to join a running group and some club sports though!

    Ok, so for the last week I've been trying to do intermittent fasting again. I've been trying it on and off for the last year, but I think this is the last time I will try it. It just seems to make me stay up later and sleep in longer like my body is adjusting to the late breakfast. I've been trying to run while fasted, but I feel so low energy and tired when I do. So the plan is to just go back to my regular schedule of eating a lighter breakfast before running. Hopefully I can finally get some miles in. Argh - setbacks are so frustrating!

    9 km Misery Mtn Climb. A bit of an early start on Emperor's Challenge HM Training. Nothing like a Trail HM that runs over top a mountain. Will be my 4th HM this year and my 3rd Trail HM. I definitely like doing the Trail HM's. The only negative is that sometimes when you are on the twisty trails you lose sight and audible contact with the other athletes. It's nice to see the odd runner in front of you as a incentive to go catch up to them and pass.

    Next week promises to be a challenge as I will be on the road for work so lots of driving and 2 of the communities I end up over nighting in are not Runner Friendly and even more so as a Non-Resident - I would use the term culturally and socially isolated. The last time I stayed there the Hotel Dreadmill looked like a vintage 1960's model.

    Goal for June:
    Continue PT for Plantar fasciitis
    50 miles for June – run/walk depending on foot
    Incorporate speed work on Tuesdays each week (also dependent upon foot is feeling)

    06/01 Rest Day
    06/02 - 2.80 - AKA 5K Race
    06/06 - 2.01 (Global Running Day)
    06/09 - 4.01
    06/15 - 2.53
    06/16 - 5.31

    Total: 16.66/50

    At PT appointment yesterday, I told Physical Therapist about flare up and she asked me if I was doing some sort of warm up. My response was no. Her suggestion was I do a 5 minute walk or lunges - something to warm up the foot before just starting to run. When I first began running with the C25K program, I did the 5 minute walk warm up and cool down.

    Foot felt good today to go for a run and a 5 miler was on the training plan. I started the run late and the temperature was about 75F with high humidity. Dew point was around 72. I did incorporate the 5 minute warm up and cool down. Foot cooperated for first three miles and I pushed through the 4th. 5th mile was a walk. It was too hot for me to continue outside - so I came home for water and continued the cool down inside with the air conditioner on full blast.

    I did figure out how to send my training plans to my Garmin watch - so it tells me warm up, run, cool down segments!

    I have a 2.0 miler planned for tomorrow, will see how foot is feeling when I wake up.

    @Orphia - Thanks for the well wishes!
    @PastorVincent - Good luck on the house hunting!
    @taylorlegal - Welcome!

    @PastorVincent - Good luck on the house hunting!

    Thanks... 6 hours of driving around and we think we have one to put an offer on. Some details need to be figured out, but hopefully, this one sticks! We already had a house lined up, but the home inspector found some serious issues (always hire an inspector!) so we had to dump it. Hopefully, this one sticks!

    I wanna take a second cuz my earlier post was reported as abuse... I am confused as to why it was reported and it was not my intent to upset anyone - especially as I was speaking about myself in the post. I'd just like to clarify that.

    I saw that. You did nothing wrong. The mods do look at it and you shouldn't worry about it. I wonder if it was done inadvertently scrolling on mobile.
