More calories burnt the day after a long run?
Just curious really, I did my first 'proper' 10k yesterday (as in only going down to walk for a few seconds at a time and really pushing myself to my absolute limit to the point i was nearly in tears) and my legs are in agony today so have decided to have a rest day as cant imagine it being good for me to run again or go…

calories burnt running...
I have a strong suspicion that MFP severley over estimates the amount of calories you burn during exercise... For example tonight i took the dog out through the countryside (woods, farmers fields etc) i was out for 55 mins and did a mixture of walking and jogging.

Question about carbs...
I'm not really noticing a huge difference in my weight (been eating around 1200 cal since July) so am thinking of experimenting and trying lowering my carb intake to see if that has any effect. Currently i think i eat around 150-160g a day sometimes more, sometimes less (but a lot of that comes from fruit and veg) what…
