==February 2014==
In February I changed my training routine dramatically, going from 4 runs/week to running twice each day. This is an experiment, based on the idea that exercise improves muscle insulin sensitivity for a relatively short period. I've also been wondering if my longer runs are long enough to cause Insulin Resistance. In addition, I've also been striving to slow down my easy paced runs, while keeping up my [[Medium Intensity High Volume Intervals]] and [[High Intensity Interval Training]]. It’s too early to draw any conclusions, but my weight has dropped 4 pounds and it seems like it's mostly fat. This is without dietary changes, and normally I struggle with my weight, even running 100+ miles/week and restricting my intake. Of course, this could be due to the extra miles I'm running, but typically an increase in my mileage just results in an increase in my appetite. I also feel like running slower is making me feel faster, though it's way too early to know if that is just wishful thinking/placebo effect.
