[MENTION=23291]shyl4l[/MENTION] [MENTION=23123]Alto[/MENTION] Couple things I have found about running...even when you're going up a steep hill, keep running, shorten your strides. Think of it like this, when your car goes up a hill it shifts into a lower gear which has a higher gear ratio... The reason why I say keep going is if you slow to a walk it will be much harder to get going again. If you're looking to get faster, build lean muscle, etc...do what's called wind sprints... Start out sprinting for 20-30 second and slow down to a jog for a minute and repeat...each time increase the intervals by a little bit....of course do what's comfortable. If you're 45...your heart rate shouldn't ever be 180...so use common sense and don't make the rookie mistake and over do it.
As far as the weight stuff...If it is the number that's bothering you, pay less attention to it... I have to be careful myself, because even though my pants are pretty lose I feel like I should see that on the scale, but I'm also weight lifting and so on...so I'm clearly building a good bit of muscle...so my weight doesn't move much in any direction. So could easily be muscle, or that you have more water, or ate a meal...that stuff makes a difference...I wouldn't worry too much about 11 stone.....that is still by far a healthy weight imo and if you're weight lifting you're probably on the leaner side anyway... Just saying, if you're doing it all by the book why worry, you're doing more than most people...I mean figure this...the drive thru at McDonald's is backed up everyday at lunch time, those people don't even know what's in their food and think that guzzling that crap down is perfectly ok. So if you want to go have cheesecake, go for it, because chances are you'll burn it up in the furnace the next day. So don't be too hard on yourself.

This may sound ridiculous, but be a human is hard. We have to worry about this, worry about that. We shouldn't do this or do that.
I'm tired, I want to quit.
