After running only sporadically - sometimes only once a week - in the past 10 months due to my daily commute I've been back at it since the Swansea Half (WORST-TIME-EVER) a month ago and already I'm feeling the benefits. When I started out running I was hovering around the 15 stone mark but after about 6 or 7 months I was around 12 stone 10 but wasn't on any particular diet. I simply ate when I was hungry, not when it was 'breakfast time' or 'lunch time'.

If you want to combine a strict diet with cardio then obviously you'll see benefits but I'm not disciplined enough to eat that. I just make sure I fuel before a run and re-fuel afterwards and already I'm up to 6 miles x3 per week.

In the past year I've put about a stone and a half back on due to the lack of running so being heavier my pace is about a minute per mile slower than before but I'm just going back to the eating plan I had before.

It's all about what works for you - I'm doing my 5th half marathon in October by following what works for me.
