Gups, I take my hat off to you if you can sustain 6-minute miles over 5 miles. It's more than 90% of my running club can manage. Plus few people can run 5 miles as easily as 5km; a 10km is quite a step-change in race distances.

Not always though. In my case higher caloric requirements of my body due to regular exercise allow me to maintain weight without restricting intake in any way.


That will only be true as long as you keep the same level of activity up, right?

Yes. A month off the gym is VERY noticeable.
