Not at the moment, am looking to burn a lot of fat (teach my body to burn fat) Currently running 200 + miles a month now until the TP100 hopefully not going to be an issue. How about yourself ?? |

Not really a fan of the 5:2 -not that way anyway. Fasting is OK but you still need to get your micro / macro nutirnets so you need to be very well thought about what you eat on rest days where you'll be eating, most likely, at BMR. Training days you can eat more. The muscular you are the easier it is to do because your BMR will be higher. Good starting points to read in my opinion are Braf Pillion Eat Stop Eat - book + lots of videos on youtube leangains martin berkhan leangains.com They are starting points - do your homework . and nig AND - you can't train hard when fasting or calorie restricting!! Weight loss yes - big perfomrnance gains, no |

Kieran thank you for your input on the 5:2. LM wow that is high. Mileage there! I'm just getting back invite after having my baby 11 weeks ago, I will see how it goes for a few weeks, because you Bangalore your fast days I'll just do them on my rest days.

Given the type of training that I'm doing I'm looking more at the ability to just keep moving at a steady pace as opposed to speed work. To do this more effectively I need to shift at least a stone and lower my body fat count. Plus I see this as an opportunity to experiment which feeds my scientific mind for a mont at least Goodluck |

Ideal. Well I haven't felt as hungry as I thought I would have today which is good but I'm still trying to eat 1800 calories at least . Fast day tomorrow instead of Sunday now because I'll be in the house most of Sunday which will be hard for me not to pick.
