Ok, first point is that there is a useful calculator here http://www.runningforfitness.org/calc/diet/weighteffect and yes I can tell you light people go faster at least! I have reviewed all your comments and worked out that I am going to leave things as they are. I am losing weight very steadily by continuing my eating…

many thanks ! appreciate the replies. Will have a read of some of those links and also look at settings Am losing weight which is the main thing !

wil have a look. That does mean that I presumably average it over the week? The downside is that I will have a lot more cals on a rest day than i really need and not enough to binge on on the hard days?

C25k only requires very short running elements on the first day. Are you in fact running more than they recommend?

Well done. You are a similar build to me. And face shape. I can certainly notice it, but having reduced from 231lb (105kg) to a current 198 (90kg) I can afford to wear much slimmer fitting clothes. You look like the clothing is still loose and baggy to hide the weight, which of course is no longer necessary. A snugger…

one thing to add, is that for me I do not need to eat back all the calories I use exercising. If I am aiming for 1600 a day and run 10k (approx 1000 calories theoretically for me) I aim only to eat back half of those, as I am very fit (but overweight) and have been doing tons of exercise for years. (Average in 2013 was…

For 90%+ of people (probably closer to 98% at a guess) eating fewer calories and moving around more results in a weight loss. Some can cope with 500 deficit, others might be 250 or 700. Seems generally agreed that extreme deficits are not healthy or effective. Those who claim they are "special" due to slow metabolism etc…

oh, to add that chamois cream (Assos is the best by far) is a great help too, and helps avoid the infections

if you are using properly padded cycle shorts or tights, you should not be wearing underpants, unless 100% seamless. Any with a 4 way seam at the lowest point are the worst as you will get severe chafing if you do more than a few miles. It takes a while to break your *kitten* in for longer rides, but I know often do 2 to 9…

One other option is to do the warm up round the start point so you can pop back in before heading off for the main run....

Look away now if you are a sensitive soul There seems to be a bit of Victorian prurience about sh^itting It is a problem I have. My method is to try not run for 2- hours after eating, and not at all in the mornings. It shakes my body up and just stimulates me to go. Not fun. Entirely seriously I sometimes carry tissues and…

I have 910XT for cycling and triathlons.but just got a Forerunner 10 for everyday usage and it is excellent. Personally I find the HRM of no value, and in any case if I need that I have the 910XT. So the F10 is perfect to keep on all day as watch (5 weeks charge), use as a basic stopwatch when swimming, and now is what I…

just do any exercise that raises your heart rate. walking, running,swimming, cycling. The MFP app gives good approximations of calorie expenditure. Just remember that what might seem now like a lot of exercise (eg running a few km) does not equate to allowing tons of food intake! Worst example is swimming, where I see…
