Day 43/70: First day of week 7 weigh-in.
Down 1.0kg. It’s funny, bike problems had me running to/from work two days this week. A spike in runs (72km this week) has not translated to a spike in weight loss.
Edit: it was 0.9kg, but then I went to the toilet and lost another hundred grams!
Are you following a running program? Or running a lot for 70 days?
1.0 kg loss would indicate that you’re eating the right amount for the training. Your body has the energy to recover. You’re less likely to develop an injury. My last c25k I stopped because my knee started hurting.
No program or anything. I usually just run every workday at lunchtime. I also cycle to/from work. I’m not particularly fast nor do I train for any specific events. It’s just for health/fitness.
I have stepped it up to running on the weekend as well, but that’s been the only real change.
I reckon you’d find benefit from a training program. Maybe for the next 70 days. There’s a bunch of methods to get more value from your training… if you want more value. I like lifting but I’m not a max lifter chasing big numbers, I just like my body to feel well tuned from lifting.
You’ll get there mate! Just keep plugging away at it. I’ve really dropped off on the exercises unfortunately… I’m finding it hard to gouge even 10 minutes out of the day for just me atm.

What is your fitness objective for this 70 days?
I want to be able to reliably run 10km in 45-50 minutes again.
I haven’t been that quick since I was in an accident in 2019. My lunchtime runs are only 7.5km, because I can’t fit a 10km run into an hour.
