Running regularly, but can’t seem to lose those extra pounds?

By Landice, July 26, 2010 10:00 am

residential1cIf you’re like many runners, you may find that although you’re training several days a week, you aren’t losing any weight. You may have even noticed a slight increase in your weight since you started training.

There may be several reasons for lack of weight loss and even weight gain, including:

  • You aren’t paying attention to your BMR (basal metabolic rate) – the number of calories required for your body to function at rest. Are you eating more calories than you need for your body to be fully functional at your activity level?
  • Your body may have acclimated to your regular workouts and simply isn’t being challenged.

Thad McLaurin, of Runner Dude’s Fitness, delves into the details of this common problem among runners. Check out his blog to calculate your BRM and read a few tips to help you introduce a bit of variety into your workout.

Tomorrow Thad will be back with special exercises to help boost your metabolism and get back on track with weight loss.

I can’t tell you how many times, all is going well and then when I ramp up my marathon training, I seem to get sick. It’s usually something like a cold or in the most severe cases, more like the flu.

Guess what? According to David C. Newman, Dr. P.H., FACSM, who is a professor and director of the Human Performance Laboratory at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC, there’s a reason for this bad-timed bug. “During periods of heavy training, the immune system reflects the physiological stress experienced by the athlete, and illness rates climb.” So, that old saying “Too much of a good thing, can be bad.” is true!

Problem is that there is no cure for all runners. Each runner has to find his/her training/rest balance. Newman suggests that nutrition along with rest is a key factor during these stressful times for athletes. So, you should pop a bunch of supplements during this time, right? NO! Newman says that making sure you’re eating a balanced diet during this time is the best way to provide support for the immune system in its fight against viruses and bacteria. Research shows that vitamin and mineral supplements don’t really boost your immunity above normal levels, so why spend that extra money on bland tasting pills? Just eat a good diet. This basically supports my thinking in a recent post, “Supplement the Natural Way…Eat!” Continue reading 'Train hard, stay healthy!'»
