Gain Weight From Running? It’s Possible
I actually thought I was going mad until i found this page. Ive put on a stone weight since last year after increasing my running duration.
I feel bloated, fat, full, and heavy most of the time. I was contributing my weight gain to an under active thyroid!! (wont know until later this week whether I have it or not)
My main problem is i love to run and feel even worse when i stop exercising (even though when i stop running i lose weight). Its a mental kick. I feel low at the moment because i havent been able to run in over two weeks due to illness. I feel heavy because im not exercising, yet i know when i go back running i’ll feel heavy and muscly again.
I also find when im running i want to everything in sight! I do contain myself but im never satisifed as such. Like others on here, I started running to lose weight in the first place. I cannot believe it causes the opposite. I do find it keeps me a good shape. (provided i dont go overboard.. aka running for 2 hrs everyday – ive cut down to an hour 3 times a week now). Its ridiclious though. I fit into size uk6-8 clothing and people always comment on how tiny i look and that i need to put on weight. They are shocked to learn im 9.5stone!!
Whats the explanation? Can it all be attributed to muscle gain?
I read before running was great to tone the stomach muscles? I have crohns disease so i have a certain natural amount of roundness in that area. I remember that got me into running a year ago. It baffles me as to why this is happening. Its not fair. Sitting on your a*s makes u slimmer?
