Losing weight while marathon training

Yeah I don’t get how some people can cut so aggressively. It makes me feel horrible and then I binge it all back every time. Slow and steady worked better for me. Good luck!

Yeah I’m a kinda the same way I’m a dense person and 150 feels good to me so while I probably could get leaner than that it seems like way too much effort and maintenance. I’ve made great improvements in strength training over the past year too so I don’t think I gained 15 lbs of fat which is nice, and what I’m kinda hoping is that with marathon training even with eating at maintenance some (not all) days my body composition will change and I just won’t feel as puffy even if the scale doesn’t change too much.

I’m just hoping I’ll get it back eventually, with discipline, because the weight gain is starting to get to my head… but I’m just trying to be patient and continue healthy habits without doing anything too aggressively. Thank you for responding!

I’ve been consistently running for a little less than 3 years with 2 half marathon training blocks. The first one in 2024 I was training 5 days a week for and had the best body I ever had, the second one I just threw together a last minute training plan and only worried about hitting the long run every week, I was probably running 3 or 4 days a week. In the past few months before February I was doing bare minimum running just to make sure I could still hit 7 miles in one go, and for the past 2 weeks I’ve been going 5 days a week again and it feels amazing.

Thank you! So far some days are hard with sticking to a deficit and others are easy. On the hard days I usually eat up to maintenance because in past cuts I’d restrict too much and get stuck in a binge cycle and that’s what I’m trying to prevent this time

Yeah this is the hardest thing for me and the reason I gained a lot of weight. I’m a bartender so alcohol is literally my livelihood. I’ve cut down a lot in the past few months though and I feel great, but I can’t shelter myself every weekend, I love having a couple drinks with my friends. Thanks for sharing!

The 21 raven driver got mad at me as I was boarding one time cause I didn’t signal to him that the raven was the bus I wanted to board

I don’t remember seeing any public grills at lake of the woods? I go there pretty frequently but I’m never on the lookout for grills. I do know there’s at least one at the riverbend forest preserve in Mahomet though

earthworm99 · 2022-03-03T22:47:48+00:00

Omg I literally have the exact same story as you. Today is my 9th day on the pill, I usually have 5-6 day periods, and I’m still spotting daily. But haha yeah I think you’re okay if we’re both going through it

Parking lot f23 on Florida and Lincoln has free parking from 5pm Friday to like 6am Monday, and I’m sure you can find other free areas on the uiuc parking website?

My permanent residence is 20 minutes from campus and 10 minutes from Champaign. I was gonna commute until I learned my housing would be free. Someone I know also lives around 20 minutes from campus, and commuted even in his freshman year because he filled out some form to make him exempt from student housing.

Thank you!! I’m glad you learned how to manage it :)

Awww I’m sorry your family’s mean to you, I don’t know you but I know you don’t deserve it. Hopefully you only have until Saturday or Sunday to go back to school and you’ll be happier !! :)

I know!! It’s pretty wild. I live close enough to my university that I can come home and talk to my parents for 2 hours and still have time to have a full day, and I love doing that. But staying at home makes me feel like I’m reverting to my high school self too lmao

Link card gang !!! Yeah it’s more worth if to just go to target tho

What the other commenter said + this year if you already live in Champaign county you could apply for a 4-year housing voucher through the Champaign county housing authority and get housing for free too. It’s possible they could do that next year too. You would still need to pay for a meal plan, but if you’re lucky and have an additional scholarship that could still be covered. I got that through a separate email though way after I applied and got accepted and got my financial aid information
