Weight gain

Post by wuwu »

I've noticed when I run I seem to bulk up, gain muscle. Any advice on how to slim down with running?
Do you think if I just "run through it" I will eventually start to shift the weight?

If weight loss is an aim double check your diet but yes this is normal you will tone up. I have many failed diets behind me and when dieting I noticed several things: I was obsessed with food and whilst pounds came off slowly the inches came off even slower. With the running I'm not dieting as such just being careful with food so I know the wine and crisps I had last night won't become a daily habit. But I tone up, clothes seem looser the weight stays the same then all of a sudden i'll lose quite a bit all at once then plateau again.

Happy running x
