  • Swimming and / or aquarobics can be great and with the water supporting your body weight there is little chance of injury. Cycling (either stationary or outside) can also be a good calorie burner and only partial load bearing so less damaging to your knees and hips than something like running. Be careful on your food…

From revision 2 of the book 'sports nutrition for endurance athletes' by Monique Ryan, the recommendations are: 45 to 75 minute runs at moderate to high intensity; 3 to 3.5 g per lb of body weight (6.5 to 8 g per kg) 60 to 90 minute runs at low to moderate intensity; 2.5 to 3 g per lb…

It worked well and once I got back to a weight I was happy with I had no difficulty in going back to a normal diet and maintaining since then (55 to 60 kg weight range). It is, however, very monotonous…

  • Check with your manufacturers website, but I suspect that could be your problem. The 'Innards' of the sole could be deteriorating even when the outside looks fine. Also be careful as if you let them deteriorate too far you will be unconsciously modifying your gait slightly so problems could continue on the replacement shoes

  • You might find this link useful to calculate your calories https://www.hss.edu/EstimatedEnergyExpenditure.pdf Quick note though, if adding the data to MFP, remember to subtract 1 from the MET number so that you don't double count the bmr portion of the equation.
