    For the last few months my run times has stayed static and i was getting frustrated. Then 3 weeks ago, I changed the diet slightly:

    - Out goes 3 large coffees with 4 sugar sachets per day, in comes 2 small coffees with 3 sugar sachets per day
    - Double fruit portions per day
    - Choclate consumption down by about a about 1/4.

    I then managed to knock a full minute off my 3 mile distance. :)
    I did 10k on the treadmill and was 3 minutes faster on that versus the last time I was on the treadmill in the summer.

    So, folks the nutrition nonsense does work!

    That is all.

    Diet, coincidence or other extraneous variable? I'm not sure if the diet change was all that dramatic, so I wonder was it something else - naturally getting fitter, a change to training??? Regardless, well done! Can't beat the feeling of a PB!

    have you lost any weight in the 3 weeks?

    I'd venture a guess that the OP has lost little or no weight. However energy levels have probably increased and the OP is probably sleeping better and hitting sessions more rested.

    Made me think there Tunney. I cook almost every night and have a good breakfast and Lunch. I don't drink coffee and rarely drink alcohol. Occasionally I feel the need to drink a can of Diet Coke to perk me up. Biscuits in the evening is my downfall.

    How does your energy levels increase by limiting refined sugar?
