While you are giving running a break, just google some knees strengthening exercises that target on quad, calves and glute.

did some googling and found out my pain is due to patellar tendonitis.

This week Im gonna just cycle instead. I dont feel any pain on my knees when cycling, and it should help to strength my legs.

Goal is to reach ideal weight 65kg without changing my diet or eating habit. Now at 73-74.

Recent lowest ever was year ago around 68 when i cycled 100km+ weekly

Once i reach my 65kg. I will switch to HM weekly per week and use the available time to do some weight lifting to maintain upper body muscle (iam old haha)
envious you guys are able to reduce weight, mine hovers around 70-75kg (height 171cm) despite clocking 200km last month and 140km this month, with simple diet (3 meals a days with no carbo during dinner, minimum carbo during lunch, 1x sandwich in the morning)

Some weeks I only run 20km . The highest ever I run in a week is 90km in 2019 . I guess that was the time I lost weight from 62kg to 59kg. Now my weight is about 54kg after diet change. My height 1.69m . Already strongly advise by doctor not to lose any more weight liao
wow.. 90km per week, how did you do this ? HM every other day ?

Talking weight trend, since I started running. I was a 67kg in my lates 30s before I began my running journey.
The lowest my weight drop was to 60.5kg somewhere 7 or 8 years into running. Now in my mid 50s my weight has gained back to 66.5kg, despite i am still running a lot. I think could be due to lower testosterone due to aging.

That week , I ran a HM , a long run 30km . 2 x 15km and 1 x 10km.

Now I think to run 40km is already very good for casual runner.

Like kuudure. He ran 55km to 60km a week without change of eating habit and lost weight in 6 months. Unless u can commit 4 runs per week and a minimum run of 15km to help in weight loss.

damn.. I need to slot in at least one more session, now only can do 2 sessions a week :(
Yalor. If u unable to change your diet. Have to run a lot more. A typical 10km run not even burn 600 calories for me.
With max 3 run per week . One of your run need to be at least a half marathon distance .

My BMI is also near the lower side like yours.

Do check your BMD.

When you run high mileage, you may be losing calcium.

I'm averaging 70km now per week but my weight seemed to increase instead of dropping. 😅
Maybe I had my meals more than i've imagined..
