When people say run further they should also give you some idea of what distance, I would suggest 5 miles once a week, everything else 3 miles or less, on one of your 3 milers try running slowly for 1.5 (warm up) then 200 metre sprints, 200 metre recovery jog and repeat + cool down & stretch

mini goals = no Massive goals = yes 199 ✅ 90kg ✅ (198lb) 196lb (14stones) I haven’t set a goal after 196, anyone got any suggestions? GW 147

What’s long distance? I’m arranging a few rides for my mates and some of them are questioning the distances.

Focus on fitness not food as you get fitter you’ll find you’ll turn to the gym or running in order to de stress rather than food. You need to alter your food to alter your weight but try and take the focus away from food by concentrating on a healthier body.

@amb961 look into ketosis. Fb pages ketogains & ketoathlete. Good luck

My first ultra is booked next year, if you are capable you should, what an achievement, you’ll be the envy of other runners, the mental gains you’ll make in life, as for different shoes & gear well that’s simple Christmas presents, accommodation & husband n kids why not make it a vacation. As for $$$ I have a theory, look…

Look up ketogains on FB they are an awesome group, 90% lift.

Don’t think about diets or weight loss Just improve the way you eat, improve how you look after your body & improve the way you move.

@nutmegoreo thanks Flipping heck I couldn’t even get it right

Of course you can do it. Oh and good on you for getting up and getting out. As for diet/weight loss look up ketosis or lchf diet its real easy.

Follow a schedule Enjoy what your doing Don’t push too hard or overtrain injury will set you back a long way. Use protein shakes as recovery after big runs. Walk more on your none running days Enjoy it

physiological I think. (All in the head) Thanks for pointing that out in a nice way much appreciated.

Feeling it 203,202,203,203,202,204,203,202,202,202 My god if I can't get off 202 what on earth is it going to be like at 199 :-)

Hi, I suppose being somewhere near the front where 1st place is in sight. As a pace, distance running would be 7 minute miling.

Min weight 126 and your aiming at 130 with little knowledge of keto, may I suggest ketogains.com and their 5x5 program

Headaches and keto flu is generally because you haven't got it quite right, firstly try adding in electrolytes

It's my favorite hobby, good pace is a key part

Cycling

It's ok to go over your calories, don't make it a big issue, yes it might slow the journey down but don't let it stress you, alternatively you could earn those calories take up walking or jogging, go lift a few weights. Try and enjoy the journey.

Cheat days ? Get rid of this saying. Every day is a choice day, you choose to calorie count or not you choose how many carbs, you choose everything. Last night I had a curry, 1/2 a bottle of red and 100g of 70% dark chocolate oh and about 50g of Camembert. My choice I follow a low carb diet & I exercise, Curry = low carb…

Ketogains page is awesome

@kpk54 "Long term damage" is regards to what? What specifically do you feel you might be damaging? If you let us know, perhaps someone can provide some research to put your mind at ease or at least shed light on the subject via low carb experts/advocates. Not sure, just reading stuff on the internet mentioning gall stones,…

Keto works for most people it's worth reading up on so you understand how it works, many people use it from overweight to top athletes, ultra runners and cyclists seem to be adopting keto.

It is possible that due to your restrictions 1400 cals that your body is then trying to protect itself so it is storing every possible extra (starvation mode) one bad day can take up to 2 weeks to rectify. Weight loss requires consistency, good luck

It's really easy to eat keto, and if like me you can't be bothered to be strict with the carb intake all you need to do is exercise to burn the extra carbs, do the exercise as close to feeding time as possible

My reply would be "my doctor says I'm not too skinny, I'm following his advice in order to be as healthy as possible, do you think he is wrong? Would you like to come to my next appointment maybe you and he could agree what's best for me"

There is a group 52lbs in 52 weeks

Shin pain is usually shin splints, caused by an increase in exercise "too much too quick" to get rid you need to rest for up to two weeks, try walking only no power walking though, after a week increase the effort walking then introduce jogging but don't over do it, reduce effort on hills and don't run up or down steps, in…

If you used to do 6mm you know all about exercise and nutrition, if your going to workout 6 days a week forget heart rates, just pop yourself into ketosis and then alter your carb intake to stay in ketosis, it'll affect your running for a few days but then you'll be back to normal. Alternatively just up your mileage, 50k a…

@sijomial thanks I didn't even know strava showed calories I've just looked it says 3372 & 3367 still incredibly high. I will try and adjust something that makes it come out at 2500 thanks guys. 2500 calories seems quite high I should still be a stick insect.
