Hey Amy, As always, thanks for the great video. I am training for a half marathon but also trying to lose fat at the same time. So far I found it's hard for me to be in a calorie deficit and make sure I am properly fueled for my weekly mileage increases, especially the long run over two hours. Would like to know what you think about that. Thanks!

Needed to hear this, was about to do a second session today for no other reason than being bored. I’m staying on the sofa.

Thank you!! I am a small person and I think a lot of runners can be. I have a hard time keeping up with my eating. How do you motivate yourself to fuel your body when your appetite doesn’t match!?

I have some weight I want to lose after my half marathon, so figure that’s a good time to do it. How much should I lower my running if I want to lose 5-7% body weight?

My first injury was exactly because of underfueling! I learned the hard way that you can only get so far without eating enough

But what if we have weight to loose, I am training for a half but want to loose weight in the process. Is it OK to be in a calorie deficit?

does this also depend on what you eat including micronutrients or healthy food and correct macros versus just making sure you get calories

I never underfuel but I’m going through menopause and I definitely notice issues from having less estrogen. I sleep better now with an estrogen pill at night.

Brand new to this and just starting to get the hang of it as it comes to fueling properly. I had a really bad relationship with food and dieting coming into it. Dealing with an angry achilles tendon and just got through some SI issues in my right hip 🤦‍♂️my other problem is my stubborn self gets serious anxiety over missed training. Energy keeps going in waves week to week. Your videos are super helpful though!

You have been giving the greatest advice and it has been so helpful to me as I train for my first marathon. See you at Boston! Thanks so much.

True. New to marathon training and would rather gain weight than under fuel and risk injury (i was restricting myself and noticed how it affected my recovery while training)

Maybe random IT band pain. How can I narrow down why it’s is happening? Some runs it’s never and for weeks, sometimes at mile 2, or hits mile 6. When it does hit I usually stop immediately. But it happened mile 2.5 of an 8 mile trail race today. I kept going and my right knee was screaming. Kept me in zone 2 rest of the time in major pain so I feel wonderful body wise hours later except for outside of right knee still. Thank you for any help!!

This is exactly what happened to me. Led to an oedema, very low testosterone and eventually ankle surgery... with long recovery

The video I needed to hear. Just coming back from Achilles tendon injury that I’m almost certain it started from underfueling..
