As I’ve now started training for my Appalachian Trail 100 day Challenge, it’s really important I keep track of my weight and my measurement to ensure I’m not losing weight and I’m adding on muscle and building strength.
For me, weighing myself once a month and taking measurements will be a really powerful tool to ensure I’m keeping on track.
From training previously I know I need to be aware of what’s happening to ensure I don’t go down the over trained route, which is what I know can happen to me very easily!

There has been an increase in weight. Which is a good thing, as I will end up going into a calorie deficit, so I do need to add on more weight. My measurements have not changed drastically, just a few small changed in my legs, arms and stomach.

Not the best lighting! But it gives you an indication & they will be good to use for comparison purposes over the coming months.
