Ideally, I'd still like to drop a few kilos. Like, five to be exact. But I also need to fuel my longer runs and strength sessions. I am hungry ALL THE TIME and the weight isn't really shifting. A kilo lost, a kilo gained, a kilo lost, then found again.
Three years of calorie counting, activity monitoring, deficit creating has left me with a fair idea of what it takes to maintain an even weight. This running caper has tipped the scales - pun intended.
So it makes me wonder... Are running and weight loss at odds with each other?
You see plenty of very lean runners. But... are they former fatties? Does that history of obesity have a permanent impact on the way our bodies process energy?
More questions than answers, so for the next few weeks I'm hooking up with an old mate - My Fitness Pal. Together we'll sort through the ins and outs, we'll track and we'll analyse. We'll systematically work it out and strategise a plan to find balance.
Let's see if it's that simple, eh?
