My Forum

Thanks for the help.  I'm gonna a food diary from now on.  Ran my first 10k this evening a preloaded myself with bagels (Weight Watchers with peanut butter) and plenty of fluid (Little and often) felt good no jelly legs - 50:12. Very happy with that.

Newbie to running....additicted

I have lost 2.5 stone since Jan 2012 from running around 5k 6 nights out of 7, but now sometime when I'm running the last mile or so my legs turn to jelly..out of gas.  I have changed from 5k one night to say 2.4k the next. As i'm on a diet (Brown rice/pasta..healthy stuff) I only consuming around 1500 cal a day..yep I know that way to little, thats why my question is what portion size of carbs,etc should I be eating at meal times, pre/post run......

Any help or advice would be gratefully recieved...;)
