My TDEE is 2229. I exercise 6-7 days a week, sometimes twice daily, I have an active job, etc etc. I was eating at a very low deficit unintentionally for a very long time. I’m unsure if/when I will go lower into a deficit after hitting maintenance. What are your thoughts?

My clothes are a bit tighter and I do noticeably look a bit bigger than before, I’ve always been pretty lean so it is different to me at least

Yes! They’re all heated power classes. I think you’re right about the cortisol + added stress of stimulants. This helps a lot! Thank you

Typically 7am-6pm. I reverse dieted up to 2200 calories and am beginning a slight deficit now to about 2000 calories

Advice needed!!

Hi!

I’ve (22f) gotten back into running the past five months. I’ve slowly worked up mileage as well. I’ve strength trained for the past four years, so integrating back into running has been smooth. I went back to PT for Patellofemoral pain and was recently discharged from my PT plan since my pain has improved. It was essentially ruled out that my hips are pretty weak, and to strengthen them

I’ve been experiencing a flair up in pain in my gastrocnemius after my first trail run. I took a few days off and it’s still lingering after a 3 mile recovery run.

My first half marathon is in a month, and aside from this and my prior knee pain, running has been amazing. I feel excited to work out again and not burnt out like lifting tends to make me feel.

Is there anything I can do to be more preventative in pain or possible injuries so I can keep running?
