great to hear QG .. keep things easy and with consistency your weight will drop below 80 over time

be patient and then the running results will come naturally

good stuff QG .. be patient, the weight will come down and the pace will become quicker

hopefully you can drop to be low 80kg without too much training and then by 78kg you should be closer to 40 minutes for 10k

patience is the secret as the engine is still similar to as in the past, just the padding has changed

on we go
