I am really going to challenge myself. I said 100km for July and thanks to my new running group I did 145. That is 90miles and with a weekend less in August my calculations say 90 would be my expected for August. But...I am going to go for 100miles just because it sounds good and is about 10% uplift which seems reasonable.…

No would recommend shock absorbers - they are pricey but worth every penny - changed my life having such a good sports bra!

@greenolivetree @louubelle16 thanks for your advice/views. @_nikkiwolf_ I am very amused by your using the term dark side to describe miles. Dark side is phrase used all the time but very clever for Imperial measures (for non geeks the Imperial army is the Star Wars baddies). I was always a km girl because the treadmills…
-
That's a shame but listen to your body, there might be a reason you struggled today. Maybe you needed to cut a few miles?
-
Log what you actually eat - stay in the habit so you don't go off track if your appetite comes back with vengeance. Eat only what you feel like.
-
My weight CB vary by 1-2kg throughout the week - just a variance on hydration and how food is working its way through my digestive system. When you complete diary each day with exercise roughly but conservatively guesstimated what weight loss does it predict in 5 weeks? If weight is dropping off you at a significantly…

Hi Eat to MFP 1lb weight loss kcals Eat only 1/3 exercise kcals back Plan ahead Bulk with lots of veg Eat plenty of lean protein Allow a proportionally bigger dinner Leave kcals for an evening snack Drink lots of water or zero kcal soda/soft drinks If you do this you won't go hungry and will lose. If you are hungry then…
-
What they said. What kcals are you eating daily? Do you weight and count everything from lettuce to low kcal dressing? It is easy to get casual and misjudge portions - I have done this before.

I like Nike app and agree that mapmy....is poor. More than once lost gps for a moment and it made up a random wild route skewing the whole distance and speed.
-
Use the MFP kcal calculation based on your goal. Stick to if for at least 3 weeks to assess results. Then if all is well you can start to eat back some of your exercise kcals.
-
I was the same but stuck with it as the best exercise for me to lose weight (along with diet of course). My tips would be to set a goal for the month in km's and forget about speed and just concentrate on gradually increasing distance. E.g of you run 3x per week go for a goal of say 40km in the month and add an extra .5 to…

I am going to repeat what others have said but it works for me: 1. Eat more protein 2. Drink more kcal free fluids 3. Save calories for night by choosing lean proteins and bulking with large portions of undressed or low kcal dressing or green veg 4. Drink more kcal free fluids 5. Do more exercise to earn more kcals 6.…

-
Yes that's how they do it. Kcal can vary quite a bit and even prepackaged products can be 10% out either way due to natural variances e.g. One portion of chicken or veg could have more water content than another. If you are trying to lose weight just log everything and it balances out. If a generic item try and find a…
