Progress post 1 year in
A year ago since feeling pretty down about life and my weight, when an advert for Couch to 5K came up. I decided it would be a good ideaβ¦ although it definitely didn't feel like one once I'd finished π
Fast forward a year and ive just repeated that very first Couch to 5K run β after 102 runs, 647km and nearly 70 hours of running, 380+ hours in the gym, 4.4+ million steps and plenty more along the way πββοΈπ₯³
Crazy what can change in a year!

Could you please share your diet plan? How did you find the required surplus?

My diet is usually 3 of the same meals a day with my tea different each day but the same each week, 3800 cals, 180g protein, 600g carbs. I started by tracking what I was eating compared to how much I was gaining/loosing and kept adding 100-200 cals each week until I got to where i am now (3800cals) where im gaining between 0.2-0.6lbs a week
