I gathered you meant sprint! biggrin

"Mo Farah physique" - is my hair going to fall out and am I going to shrink? Only joking. I am 6'5'' and despite loosing two stone so far, I am still about 2-2.5 stone overweight so I am a long way from looking like that.

The loosing weight for me is more about health than looks. Its not that I don't care what I look like but that is not the driving force.

In my twenties I used to lift weights a lot and once I have lost the fat would like to go back to doing that along side the running. Maybe cut the running down a bit and put some muscle on.
What I meant is compare Mo Farah to Usain Bolt. I'd rather have Bolt's physique.

That was me. It wasn't a particularly scientific test but I couldn't see the benefit of the stuff, sure I lost weight when taking it (as well as exercise and diet), but lost just as much without them.

It is frustrating. I have lost 2 stone now, but in the last month haven't lost anything despite running 5 times a week, last week I ran over 20 miles. I think I have fallen into the trap of thinking I can eat what I want because I am exercising so much.
me 2 and despite more weight being thrown around than at any point since my thirtys not much else is happening and am feeling tired to say the least!

How many calories are you eating a day to the nearest 100?

The clue will be in your answer if your fat loss has stalled.

I'd highly recommend regular 30 minute sessions of sprint training for a month but also monitor your calorie intake - aim for 1700-1900 a day. See how you get on.

Yes me too. I am the same height as Bolt but that is where any similarty ends.

Well, the last thing you want to be doing is steady state running...
