RicF hadn't thought of that . I don't think so but perhaps I will up the carbs a bit and see what happens. I do know that when doing all this speed training I eat about 3000 calories a day and still loose weight so there may be some truth in your explanation.
Thank you Stevie G . Have often seen your posts and know your a guru at these things . Will rework the schedule and post back in a month with the results.
