    That's very interesting! If not running, what exercises do you suggest are best for maintenance/weight loss?

    You will lose weight while running, if you're in a deficit. Find me a runner that is eating at a deficit and gained fat, an you'll find me the first one.

    Do Whatever you enjoy!! That's what is best. Kb conditioning works best for me because I love it. I now do them without the thought of " how many clean and jerks do I have to do to get rid of last night's dinner?"

    Nope.

    now the thought is, "I can clean and jerk with my 16 kg but I want to eventually do the 20 kg.. I train today to get stronger...."

    I hate running now..well,long distance running. It just wasn't for me. Doesn't mean it was bad. But I think some people get goal hijacked.. Do they really want to become better runners or are they just trying to burn off their breakfast? Which of those two people will STICK to this routine in the longterm and actually succeed? I put my money on the one who wants to just become a BETTER RUNNER.


    If I run now, which is rare, I'll go run a 1/4 mile- 1 mile as fast as I can and try to get faster at those short distances. Now that's the kind of running which I actually do like, although doing fast is BRUTAL. But those kind of runs rarely jack up my appetite like regular marathon training. I didn't enjoy marathon training. (although I did enjoy the social aspect of marathon brunches, lunches and dinners afterwards with my training partners. Probably too much. I definately wasn't in a deficit.)

    I think if most people trained for performance instead of exercising off what was eaten, we'd all have a better mind shift in relation to food and movement.
