Six days left: One of my goals when i started this marathon-project was to get rid of some extra kilos. I realised that during such a long run I would gain a lot not having to transport more weight than necessary. I started in january at 92 kg (BMI 26,5) and today my weight is 85 kg (BMI 24,5).
Seven kg less of me must give me some extra energy for running at saturday. Today I found a calculator that tells me I will gain 315 kcal from this weight loss. 315 kcal is as much energy as 1,5 Maxim energy bar. I am not a physician to really understand how this will gain me in the end. Lets se on saturday.
If you like to know more about the discussion about energy spending while running, here’s a forum thread from jogg.se.
