Happy to be added as a friend to the UKers out there. I'm currently training for a 100k in September.

Bit more info would be useful. What are you having a hard time keeping up with? What are you feeling guilty about eating? Without a bit more info it's hard to give you any suggestions.

I know this is a bit of an old thread, but would you have eaten the chinese on a different night, but just picked something which fitted in to your calories for that day? If the answer to that question is yes, then you just move your "cheat" day. The whole concept of diets is pointless, you need to be making a life style…

I had a trainer at the gym start telling me that my 2 hours on the running machine wasn't good for me and that I should be doing more strength work. He didn't even enquire as to why I was running for that long, just piped up with some advice. I pointed out that I was training for a 100k and 2 hours on the running machine…

Dont fret it. A day of under eating isn't going to make any difference in the long run. Your body isn't going to suddenly think your starving. Eat your normal dinner and move on to tomorrow.

I am a human rubbish bin when it comes to food. I just don't get full. The switch that is meant to click when you are full is well and truely broken and always has been.

Good luck.

Looking after a little on its own I would consider work. Go for lightly active at the very least. On the calculators I found I always went with moderate on the activity levels. I believe it is best to err on the side of caution. That way there is less chance of you believing you are burning more than you are. Looking at…

Just as a side point, you are losing weight. You may not be losing it as fast as you would like but you are losing. Keep going.

I have just had a quick look at a couple of calculators and plugged in my details. Hopefully the following will help you. BMR average - 1771 (this is required to keep you alive) TDEE average - 2867 (this is to maintain INCLUDING my current exercise+activity level) 15% calorie deficit - 2437 (about 1lb a week loss with my…

Thanks for that, found out that I had joined this site back in 2011! Though I never really actually used it correctly. At least now my stats will go off now and now show some silly numbers which I never really agreed with.

1/3 - 0 2/3 - 5 miles (treadmill) 3/3 - 0 4/3 - 0 5/3 - 10 miles (treadmill and wow was this boring) 6/3 - 5 miles (treadmill) 7/3 - 7.5 miles (outside, yay for weekends) 8/3 - 13.25 miles (outside) 9/3 - 5 miles (treadmill) 10/3 - 5 miles (treadmill) 11/3 - Rest day. 12/3 - 5 miles (treadmill) Total: 55.75miles

Jcbooth, at the end of the day those are excuses. I am 34, have a 4 year old, I have a 12 hour day including commute, plus all the same house work stuff you have mentioned. I now get up earlier, 4:30, to get in to the office so I can run before work. I have been around the same weight for ages and always found the excuse…

I didn't think I would ever actually use the following on an internet site, but got to love the ad hominem attacks on the OP. "You're young, therefore your point is invalid" He has said in posts that there is no doubt some people who do fall outside the norm for body functions. Those who have actual medical conditions…

bite the bullet and speak to him. He may well be doing what he is doing because it's under direction from his doctor or a physio. Which is great, he is doing what he should be and isn't wasting his time and his money for no reason. The other option being that he thinks this is useful and is wasting time and money and…

I would be on a nett of around 700 calories a day if I didn't eat back my exercise calories. 1600 target from MFP and normally burn around 900 odd on a run. Weekends I'm burning 1500 - 2500 calories. Would be so ill if I didn't eat those back.

As soon as the alarm goes you have to get out of bed straight away. No enjoying the warmth of the duvet for a couple more minutes, or just one hit of snooze. Put your alarm somewhere where you can't reach it from in bed. Make yourself get out of bed to stop it beeping. Then get dressed.

But you would then include those burned calories in your daily amounts?

Currently running 6 times a week. Training wise it depends on how long until the race. At the moment I am just getting back in to it so am focusing at time on my feet. Mon - 1 hour Tue - 1 hour Wed - rest Thur - 1 hour Fri - 1 hour Sat - 2 hours Sun - 3 to 4 hours I'll look to increase my weekend runs by around 30 minutes…

4 days a week, at the moment I'm doing a 5 mile run each day on the treadmill. Weekends are long runs outside as my gym in near where I work.

Was just about to say the same as this. Anything from neck up I normally just push through, unless it is a killer migraine. Below the neck, excluding general soreness from working out, I rest and see if it passes. If you body is trying to fight off some sort of 24 hour bug or the like, I generally find it best to let it…

Saw a picture of myself when I was doing a run last year. Had always sort of believed I was "okay". Then I saw this picture of me and my stomach was hanging over the waste strap of my backpack and the chest strap just highlighted my moobs I want to be a dad who is around for my daughter for as long as possible, I want to…

1/3 - 0 2/3 - 5 miles (treadmill) 3/3 - 0 4/3 - 0 5/3 - 10 miles (treadmill and wow was this boring) 6/3 - 5 miles (treadmill) 7/3 - 7.5 miles (outside, yay for weekends) 8/3 - 13.25 miles (outside) 9/3 - 5 miles (treadmill) 10/3 - 5 miles (treadmill) 11/3 - Rest day. Total: 50.75miles

This. I'll do some core stuff and strength work so long as it adds to my goal for improving my running. When I am trying to get a long run in during the week and am on the treadmill for 2 hours I don't want some "trainer" coming along and telling me I should be lifting heavy instead of running. I'm not interested in…

Any time I have hit the wall it is normally down to not getting enough food in. I always have at least 1 energy bar with me when I go on a run, don't normally need it for anything less than an hour but after that I will need to start eating. I did an ultra last year and really didn't plan my food correctly and was just…

wow, I am so very very jealous.

Peanut butter on a plain bagel and a banana. Goes down really easily and has a nice hit of carbs and protein. I normally make the bagel up the night before, just because it saves me a minute or two in the morning.

But they are putting fluoride in the water, it's the fluoride that's making me fat. Not McDonalds, but fluoride. :smile:

I have found that the number from MFP to be quite a bit lower than my numbers from my HRM. Using the treadmill in the gym, set on 8kph and I run for 60 minutes. MFP puts that at about 650. But my HRM tracks that at 937. My heart rate and cadence from a treadmill run and a weekend outside run at equal.
