Still stuck around the same weight and have lost my appetite. May just take it easy for a bit then go on a muscle kick after my birthday in a few weeks.
Was inspired to go for a run last night and managed a 5 mile run in 41 mins so I might not die in this marathon relay after all. Got to run 8 next Sunday. Aiming to run 6 sometime mid week then maybe 7 on monday and that should do it.
Been debating trying to shift the flab now as it is too hot to eat loads and I have hit a wall but I will persevere.
Jock I don't get that if you are trying to bulk why ur doing a marathon/lots of CV? Do you ever take a week break every 6 or so weeks?
eta: seen your reply to fenix, but surly this won't help that plateau?
All taken out of context.
I hit the plateau before I started running so that did not cause it but I have been running since and am sustaining the same weight.
I am trying to bulk yes but I also have a marathon relay in a couple of weeks so I can't get away with no training. I have only run 3 times so far though. I also think there is no point being massive and unable to run a few miles. You can do both!
So I am bulking and the runnning is more of a side project. I will be doing a half marathon in sept so it will also be helpful to build up my fitness in advance of that - unlike last time!
I don't see why you can't consoldate bulking and cardio. Some people think it helps keep the fat off. I appreciate it means a greater calorie expenditure which just means eat more to compensate.
I do partially agree, though I think it is down more to the genetics of each person, but there was certainly a massive lad at my gym who shocked me when he told me he had just run the London marathon.
