Have you heard that studies on this coming out in the Keto community at least, and in particular for older people, say that people with higher LDL have a lower chance of a heart attack. Just the opposite which we have been led to believe. Also cholesterol has now been determined to have little if any bearing on your risk…

Thanks all for the references. I will read up on them. I was mostly curious as I was expecting my LDL to be super high as most athletes seem to get on a Keto diet. I was thinking maybe I am over exercising (being unemployed and bored) as being the reason. In fact my LDL is barely higher (about 10% more) than when I was…

Nobody knows why exercise lowers LDL on Keto? I'm curious to the why.

Actually yes. We both sprint and strength train. I probably do double what she does. Why would that affect ldl?

This is probably a bit off topic but since I started running 3 years ago I haven’t caught any bugs whatsoever. Apparently it’s great for your immune system. Just food for thought

Oh, that’s a no flavour yoghurt too

I just started on high fat Greek yoghurt?

Thanks!

Thanks! A lot of good suggestions

According to this lowering carbs has good long term affects https://youtu.be/UZoQiDaWnuE

If it’s for run or walk you really can’t go past Garmin

Thanks all. Much appreciated

I mostly run on the road/paths and once a week on grass. And I think you are right about my gait, I have a quite high VO when I do my normal pace runs, which could be putting pressure on the ankle, and I did go through a period of wearing minimal shoes on concrete. I don't do that now, if I run on the road I use padded…

Thank you, always nice to read up on these things, even if its not correct, it's good to be aware of it.

well jeez, I was expecting a lurking pysio to easy spot it as something common like archilles tendonitis or planar fasciitis, but I guess not,

I went to gym classes for years and lost little weight. Got aVery toned though. Then I started running which I found burns way more calories and gets you even “fitter” . Back then my goal was to lose weight and now my goal is met 73kg my current goal is to run faster!

I have oatmeal with fresh blueberries and real orange juice. No stomach issue even 30 mins before

I agree with this 100%. If I do something that stresses my body (in your case doing couch to 5k) then tissues become inflamed for a while and retain water. Give it time.

Yes i do weights twice a week, nothing big as I am no body builder

I'm also 57, and I started doing 5Km runs in 2016. The course I was doing was brutal (as in extremely hilly) and my first run was around 45 minutes. After about a year of running I got my best time down to about 34 mins. And after about 18 months was I able to completely run this course at a time of about 30 mins. A flat…

I have a Vivoactive HR and if i go on a 10km run (about 6.5 miles) it nearly always calculates from 600-700 calories for me. Have you put all your stats into Garmin? I don't think it will calculate properly if it doesn't know your age/height/weight or heart rate. Also are you walking on a treadmill or walking on the road…

Parkrun is a volunteer based world-wide social running group. Where I am it's a 5km run held weekly at 7am on Saturdays. Its not competitive, in fact many go for walkers, but their website allows you to track your progress. To see what countries have it, see here parkrun.com/countries/ There's heaps of Parkrun's in my…

I'm running more than I ever have and i'm 57. Don't worry what people say.. only thing i noticed detrimental for my age is injury recovery times, so I tend to be careful and work on my technique to avoid that. But hey older is wiser so that's no biggie right?. Also my vo2max nearly always measures about 52 from a normal…

I got shin splits bad with incorrect running style ( overstriding as above ) which causes heel strike which sends the impact up your leg. I removed a lot of this pain by firstly buying the correct running shows, then secondly learning to run properly so I hit with my forefoot and not my heel. Since then ( about 8 months…

I have a couple pairs of shoes, but I mostly use Adidas Supernova Glides, so yes i think the cushioning is good on them

I ran the same pace and distance for over a year until i did the following 1. Run more than once a week ( makes a huge difference ) 2. Mix it up. Do intervals one day mixed with long distance (at a very slow pace ) another day. 3. Make sure you got the right shoes The reason you run the same pace and distance is just that,…

I bought a fitbit and returned it the next day. The flicking your wrist constantly to see the display was just too annoying. I exchanged it for a Garmin Vivoactive HR. Apart from its looks, its a great tracker. Accurate GPS including altitude, HR monitoring. Even works on a treadmill, swimming (Its waterproof) and with gym…

I have a vivoactive hr and most of your calories is just maintaining your body heat. If i do a heap of exercise its lucky if i burn 900 calories out of 2800

Hi Great post! I'm 57 and I started running Nov 2015, but only started taking it seriously this year after a hernia operation at the gym ( ps. I don't gym at all now, just run ). I can help with some insight as a first 10k timer myself just 3 weeks ago. What I can tell you from my perspective is, its a different type of…
