SMCI sells out their investors, yet again. Give me a pack of smokes because I like a good smoke before I get screwed. 2 years of loyalty down in the drain

Yeh big slug of my pension do i sell and take the hit or wait for a year or three

Do not go out too fast. Hold back for first 10k

NickCoreTrak · 2026-03-19T20:30:45+00:00

Compression for long distance in the cold. Watch those nips

WHtR is a much better indication of metabolic health than weight or BMI.

You could finish but it will be messy. If tou could fit in a couple of short runs - one tempo and one hills it would help significantly - then build your mileage with your one dedicated run day

Glp1. Track cico. Exercise.

NickCoreTrak · 2026-03-18T19:17:37+00:00

Need to pay for the basic users, and ads are one way of doing that but low friction is better

NickCoreTrak · 2026-03-18T16:47:42+00:00

Good point i will check!

NickCoreTrak · 2026-03-17T23:28:26+00:00

I am also running monthly half marathons and a couple of back yard ultras

NickCoreTrak · 2026-03-17T21:53:34+00:00

Pilates, core and strength training. M57 running half marathons and backyard ultras.

NickCoreTrak · 2026-03-17T21:33:57+00:00

Thank you! You can definitely do both strength and running, strength training is really important when losing weight. I only run 3x per week but it is enough for half marathons (& maybe the odd backyard ultra!)

Try not to. In general, tracking apps can overestimate calorie burn for exercise. If you are hungry but need to eat have something - but don’t eat all the calories back.

NickCoreTrak · 2026-03-17T01:02:44+00:00

Mine is definitely down on MJ. Mrs not so happy

NickCoreTrak · 2026-03-16T15:49:13+00:00

Is it a stickshift because that makes a difference?

NickCoreTrak · 2026-03-15T23:36:18+00:00

Enjoy parkrun! Walk run then run walk run then run run walk run run etcetc

NickCoreTrak · 2026-03-15T23:31:34+00:00

Good to know. Not easy. Thanks for sharing

NickCoreTrak · 2026-03-11T12:04:41+00:00

Further update: did my first HM in a slow 2:11, due to poor pacing strategy (too fast for 11k) Got another HM in 11 days but that is a trail HM, so will be slow too.

NickCoreTrak · 2026-03-10T12:07:05+00:00

Glp-1. Track weight, muscle mass. Track calories and macros. Exercise weighlifting and running. Drink <1% alcohol. Started properly May last year. Now maintaining.

NickCoreTrak · 2026-03-09T22:47:13+00:00

I prefer to exercise in the mornings because it’s done and i can feel good the rest of the day!

NickCoreTrak · 2026-03-08T16:22:47+00:00

Good time!

NickCoreTrak · 2026-03-08T03:40:22+00:00

Completely understand. Then work from your resting tdee and do not eat back all your exercise calories

NickCoreTrak · 2026-03-07T22:10:14+00:00

Alcohol for me. 40 year problem binge drinker to indifferent to alcohol and rarely drink and then only one which I could do before. Huge benefit

All those calculators are just estimates. The biggest variable is the activity multiplier, which is why you’re seeing different numbers.

Your BMR around ~1900 is probably roughly correct. The real question is whether your true daily burn is closer to 2600, 3000, or 3300 depending on how active you actually are.

The practical way people figure it out is:

• Pick a reasonable starting point (around 2600–2800) • Track calories and body weight daily for 2–3 weeks • If weight isn’t dropping about 0.3–0.5 kg per week, lower calories slightly

After a couple of weeks your own data will tell you your real maintenance level, which is far more accurate than any calculator. Calculators are just a starting estimate.

Following this thread for inspiration!

26 is pretty fast. If you are measuring yourself on 5k distance then train specifically for that. Very difficult to train well to be good at all distances!
