I had an amazing race yesterday. 10k – in one of the most difficult circuits out there. I am seriously proud of that. In general, cardiac health is going to be important for me. And I have my eyes set on Marathon 2024, so the goal is to get ready for that too.
One of the main reasons I started running is because I want to lose weight. Frankly, over the last month of running, I haven’t lost a single pound. I think I have been eating below my BMR, but maybe not? It could also be that I am putting on myself in the lower body, which is replacing the fat. I do feel like I have lost fat. But the weighing machine is not budging.
I am at 285 right now, and it is not a good idea to keep doing long runs at this weight. This is just a recipe for injuries. So, here is my small adjustment to the overall plan:
- Focus on 5kish runs
- Focus on consistency
- Focus on keeping calories clean and in check
After a month, I will evaluate if I need to do some upper body exercises.
I am excited about this plan for now. Let’s not let it fizzle out!
