That is an insane amount of training - big lifestyle changes!

I increased my calorific needs by 1000 a day by doing a 10K run (1hr) before breakfast.

Still a 160lb weakling :)

That seems high. Someone your weight would generally only burn about 750 kcal on that workout.

    750 kcals is insanely high for a 10k training run. If you hold your HR to Z2, 620-640 kcals would be my ballpark expectation.

    It’s what Strava says I’m burning so I can only go by that. 750 would still be above the low end of the range quoted by the OP.

    The amount of extra food I needed to start eating!
