Jrieth, what are you drinking during the day? I had a quick look over the last week and saw 1 beer logged and a glass of orange juice? I had 2 glasses of milk yesterday, which was a couple of hundred calories and I just realised that I didn't log any of my cups of tea or coffee, which I probably had another 3 or 4 of…

I'm looking to leave maybe around 200 odd calories at the end of the day. Mostly because I don't trust my HRM to calculate exactly what I burned and MFP to get the exact calories for generic stuff. If I believe I burn less than I do at the gym and I eat more than MFP is showing me, I should hopefully come out somewhere…

Currently training for a 100k. Got out at the weekend for my first proper run in a while and managed 7 miles on Saturday and 13 on Sunday. I'm just trying to get as much time as possible. I have a marathon I am going to run in June as part of my training. I am really not looking forward to the 7 or 8 hour training runs…

Are you really logging every single thing that you are eating? Butter/Oil that goes in meals or on a slice of bread? Think back over the last 2 or 3 days and recheck your diary. Can you say 100% that there is nothing that you ate that isn't on that list. If you are sure you have captured everything then prehaps you are…

lists, lists and more lists. MFP is your list of everything you eat. Start logging every single thing and it really has to be everything. Do you have butter/marg on your bread, log it. Don't go with the "oh it's only X, no point logging that". You don't even have to start your diet on the first week. Treat it like any…

I'll let someone who does more lifting that I give you advice about actual upper body workouts, but Ill point out something. The concept of "toning" is a myth. You can't just pick an area of your body and do a work out and lose weight from that area. You can build muscle in an area but your body will burn fat from all…
-
when starting off the main things that will increase your speed are. 1. More running. 2. Losing weight. If you are only just finishing C25k then you probably aren't at the point where tempo or fartlek training is something you need to be worrying about. Just look at seeing if you can increase the distance while maintaining…

It's quite amazing how coming on here and seeing what other people are putting in on a daily basis makes you not think up a reason to skip the gym today. I think my main plan for march is going to be just getting the miles in, either on the treadmill or the trails near my house and then in April I will probably switch out…

How do you edit a post? or do you just make a new one each day?

the whole no carbs after or don't eat after X time is a great check for any of the "fitness" people at the gym. Get a free session with them and ask about diet. The moment they start saying don't eat at X time because you body just turns it to fat can be ignored. Plan your meals. Work out the calorie content of each one.…

Good job man, that is a seriously impressive. No questions because you have answered a ton in this post, which in itself is a great thing. Nice to see people being helped out. I thought I would just add if people are looking at starting a 5x5 strength routine, one of the best is "starting strength by Mark Rippetoe". It…

my diary is open to all (I think). Add me as a friend if you are so inclined. I am currently training for a the 100k Thames path challenge and mostly enjoy ultra running as my chosen sport. Always interested to chat with more people who enjoy the desire to be out on the trails for a number of hours!
