Ha, I was thinking about doing some running for cross training, to the point I was going to ask on the running thread about a couch to 10k kind of program, knowing that I'll quite easily put myself into physical breakdown mode if I started running again. "ooh this isn't so bad, maybe I'll just do that 10k now and not bother working up to it". "Oh hello 6 months of physio..."

I know what you mean. I would say it's easier to stick to than you think though. The knowledge that it's only one day, and the promise of food tomorrow gets you through it. And fasting days are free to shuffle around to whenever suits.
I've only ended up on a diet after injury has stopped me running, which in turn caused weight gain. I'm hoping to have the all clear to run again before the end of the year, and I'm really interested to see if 5:2 fits in with running. Either way, I'm in much better shape than usual after a long lay off. But I'm also now planning to keep my running distances down, too much too soon is what wrecked me in the first place! (You can keep your ultras thank you very much!)
