Bond has a really key point that you will need to track in order to successfully lose weight. I am currently in my first weight loss cycle (attempting to go from 84 kg to 75 kg) while continuing to train, and it would not be possible without the My Fitness Pal app.

This article on Training Peaks was really helpful: https://www.trainingpeaks.com/blog/your-14-step-guide-to-weight-loss-during-base-training/ My most important take away from this has been adjusting workout and meal timing to ensure that key workouts end with a planned meal.

Some things that have worked worked for:

1. Keep the individual workout mileage low, even if that doesn’t conform to the plan.
2. Trail running is much lower impact that pavement. Reduce pavement miles as much as feasible. Run short loops or just go out and back if you have to.
3. Technique! Spend time practicing good technique, including sprinting and footwork, separate from the actual volume work. A competent coach is helpful.
4. Onset of pain or tension, is a good notice to stop and walk it off until it releases. Works for ITB Syndrome.
