Starting Weight------185
Current Weight------169
After tons of years of running, my competitive weight was somewhere around 160-165 when I was kicking ass and taking names. I hadnt run seriously in a year or more, so this summer I started running again, out of the blue one morning in early June, I think June 3rd. I felt fat, my runs were short, I started watching what I ate, drank water, avoided pop, limited carbs, and I got down to about 164 this fall.
Since the winter has set in, my mileage has tapered off a bit since Im confined to the treadmill, but I make up for the lower mileage with more intensity. Its definitely something you need to learn to balance. I can somehow lift my face off and never get burnt out, but too much cardio too soon and I get burnt out. Its now 16 Dec so I have been somewhat successful in keeping it going. Previously I would start and burn out within a month or 2.
