[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently lost 20 pounds via diet. I've started running (mostly for mental health reasons) and have about 15 more pounds to lose. What is the best strategy? Long distance running? Shorter runs with strength training? I am aiming for 3 runs per week: -5k -6 miles -10 miles I am not consistent with any meal plan but just generally aim to be in a calorie deficit. Longer runs make me crave carbs like a maniac. [/quote] If longer runs give you cravings, how about swapping out your long run? I aim to run 40km+ per week and split it into about 4 runs according to how I’m feeling (eg this week I’ll probably do 1x8km, 2x10km and 1x12km). Maintaining the discipline to run 4 days somehow gives me more discipline with eating. If I go more than 2 days without running, I definitely get slack with food. [/quote] Yeah, I agree. Ten milers take a long time. I'd cut that down to 6 (or even 4), but work in bursts of speed. [/quote]
