Murder, chopping up bodies and burying them… how many calories does that usually shift TMGJ?
-
Injuries are a sign of being totally incompetent at running, having only really got into it in the last 4 years. Skipping the couch-to-5k and trying to run ultras… think my body has struggled. Fitness has been perfectly fine. And managed to get a slight grip of the mental strength needed. A few weeks ago I was roughly a stone heavier than I was during covid 2020. I was at my fittest and best then. So a return to that weight would be good. Running with a stone less to cart around is going to help me avoid injuries. Hence, me going back to basics, low heart rate slow running (in the fat burning zone) and having a dietary plan to go hand-in-hand with it. Whilst educating myself each day on both the nutritional and physical side of things (watching tons and listening to tons of podcasts, YouTube vids, etc).

Not just a weight loss plan. Trying to burn off some fat. Get stronger and trimmer at the same time. Whilst building up my aerobic base - rather than going through the no-pain, no-gain routine that most folk do. I’ve been there, been injured and suffered from a lot of inflammation. Will see how it goes. The ultimate goal is to cycle between low carb and keto as and when I need to.

I didn’t say it was. Just pointing out the the typical diet on the planet is eating shit. Many, many hidden sugars in every day stuff. Still eating up to 50g (gross) of carbs each day, mainly broccoli (listed as the number one complex carb in many places).
-
Keto has been around by name since the 1920s. Surely eating fast food, sweets, chocolates, cake, high processed foods, additives, etc, etc is a fad diet that’s gone way too big. Not a single doctor on the planet would ever recommend it. But most of them are eating it and overweight. My last 2 GPs have been very portly.

I’m a good 2 1/2 weeks on my way to this. For now, I’ll accept the “untrue” ketosis and keep doing what I am. China’s obesity rates have quadrupled over the last 30 years.

Fasting resets your body from the inside. Sacks off your bad cells. Massive, massive benefits from doing it. From snacking constantly and raiding the fridge every 15 minutes, I’m now literally never hungry. Feeling very satiated from the good fats and protein in my daily meals. Obesity, diabetes and being “over fat” are happening in epidemic proportions and the “standard” diet that most of us have signed up for all our lives clearly isn’t working. Not too mention chronic illnesses. The USFDA changes in 1977 moving the world from high fat/low sugar to low fat/high sugar has been castastrophic. Just look around. There’s more fatties than thinnies nowadays. BUT there’s also a lot of “athletic” types and gym types who look fit but are eating shit calories and too much sugar.

Wish I could afford a PT. Everyone has their own opinions. For everyone who says its bad, there’s another bunch of experts who say it’s good for you.

The average human stores between 130,000 and 150,000 of calories in fat in their body. 20 hours of fasting is hardly going to deplete those stores. Glycogen is a byproduct of carbs and sugar. As I’ve been in ketosis for 2 1/2 weeks, I’m not reliant on it. Folk run marathons fat adapted and fasted.

20 hour fast today. Cracked out a 10km at 1 hour 12 mins. Reckon my mum could do better!

1. Cut sugar out of your diet. No. 1 killer in the world. 2. Run faster, stronger, injury free. 3. Reduce body fat %. 4. Live longer. 5. Reduce stress.

Did you stick to MAF in that time for EVERY run/workout. Or did you go with the 80/20 method at any point? Tried doing as much research as possible. Found a coach who suggested MAF for all your runs, but throwing in a few 20 second sprints 3-4 times at the end of 50% of your runs, just to work some of the muscles that are getting neglected by running so slow and not fully striding out. Minefield!
-
And that’s what it’s all about! Well done. Nothing better than a total reset and taking life in a new direction.

Today’s run – parked up at the end of the Trans Pennine Trail near Broadheath. Was just locking up the door on car, when I noticed the car parked next to me, young lady on the back seat with the passenger seat fully down… and some bloke about to jump on top. I looked at her, our eyes met, and then I set off on my run. I was thinking, surely not, surely not at 9am on a Friday in broad daylight. Plenty of dog walkers park up there. Got back from my run, was stretching off and saw they were still there and definitely some shenanigans going on!! When I sat back down in my car, I could see, they’d; swapped positions, he was lay back and she was facing him - I presume piping him off. Not all doom and gloom this running and dieting malarkey! Definitely making this my Friday morning run now!!

Did you keep it up for long? I’ve done nearly 2 weeks now. Ended up on Worsley loop line the other day. 4 miles from car park and back again. Recorded it 2 separate 4 milers. From the car park, there’s that slight gradient… made such a difference, HR kept jumping well above my MAF, pissed me off good and proper. Then on way back, I was actually running 90% of the way, very little stopping.
