Running and Carrying Too Much Weight

Question:

I run at least 4 times a week ranging from 5k to 20k I have just completed my first Marathon but am still unable to lose any weight. I need food to fuel my runs and for the main part eat healthy but am stuck at 80kilos on a 5 7 in frame – all the weight being around my stomach. Do you have any helpful advice?
Thank you

Answer:

Hi Katrina,
Thanks for your email. It would appear from what you say in your email that you really need to cut down on your carbohydrates. I know that you need fuel for your runs but you should try cutting down slightly on you carbohydrate intake. With the amount of running you are doing you should not be carrying that much weight.
The other thing you need to do is to introduce interval work to your training .

I hope this is of some help – if there is anything else I can help you with please contact me and I will do my best for you

Kind Regards
