Slow-smooth-fast
"I've been following Eddy's improvement over the last two years on this site, and it's been pretty dang solid. Sure the weekly mileage has been up and down, but over the long haul he's getting out the door and has turned himself into quite a runner. He's only now just figuring out his potential. Consistency in running is measured in years, not weeks. And over the last couple of years, Eddy's made great strides" Jeff 14 Jan 2009
Also, I'd throw in a mid-morning snack - maybe some yogurt or something.
I've got a fever...
I put a post-it on the fridge door that says... "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels"...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I don't think that is a good idea... unless you are going to go to a 5-6 meal program.. and then in that case you are not calling it a snack... If you eat breakfast at 8:00 and eat a solid... 500-600 calories with 20 grams of protien or so you will not be hungry until 11:30 or so when it is time for lunch... when you repeat... eating about 600 calories... and 20-30 grams of protien... But then you have to get from around 12:00 - 6:00 pm that is too long.. so the 3:30-4:00 200 calorie snack is in order... then 600-800 calorie dinner and you are in at about 2200 calories... throw in the running and room for another nibble or two and you are on track... I've gone from 264 down to 180... back up to 200 before I found runnig... now i am 150... The thing I have learned is to learn to make changes so they work for me... and my life... otherwise once I stop loosing I will go back to gaining... but that is just my experience... my experience is don't give up... if at first you don't suceed try try again... I put a post-it on the fridge door that says... "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels"... One more thing... I have found that I have to string 4 good days of eating together to make progress... try to put together streaks of good (by good I mean sticking to your plan)... eating...
Prince of Fatness
Not at it at all.
The Limping Jogger
After looking at the correlation between speed and weight, I can obviously see there is a strong positive correlation between lower weight and faster race times. I am currently weighing in at 192lbs, and for the life of me cannot seem to get any lower. What on earth do you guys eat, or 'not eat' as it were to be so godamm light! My typical daily diet is: 7am, two slices of toast with jam, or small bowl of cereal, and a banana. Lunch: 2 sandwiches with tuna on. low fat packet of crisps. Mid afternoon, nutri grain, banana. After my run at night: jacket potato, with tuna, or pasta with tomato sauce etc. I am still trying to strip fat off, but cant seem to get to my ultimate goal of 168lbs. Any help would be great.
"Only a few more laps to go and then the action will begin, unless this is the action, which it is."
A diet won't be successful if it feels too restrictive.
