    Anything I am starving (as normal) but I really have to get my eating and diet under control. Since the summer and running regularly I have put on half a stone as I end up eating more and this really isn't helping me!

    Aim is to loose 1/2 stone before Christmas. Actually what I am really craving is a nice roast chicken dinner yum yum

    Thats interesting.

    You can easily put weight on if you run each session close to your maximum ie trying too hard!

    The harder you try the more you use up glycogen reserves which need replacing quickly. Ease off and you burn more stored fat which doesn't need replacing and therefore doesn't cause the same hunger.

    You can't think about losing weight and training at the same time otherwise you end up denying your body fuel and end up worn out. The key is to do most training very easily as top athletes do!

    :rotfl: They run more than 3 times as fast as me :rotfl: I am a bit gutted! :o

    Very exciting though. :T

    (and bizarrely I'm not hungry in the slightest)

    The Nov 08 Running fitness mag recommends weight training in between run days. This will build muscle and you will therefore burning more calories on your run days.

    Ok so if a go at an easier pace I will burn fat rather than glycogen? I need to burn some serious fat I tell you!
