It sounds like cycling to work was your base and you topped off with running.
As others have said, it doesn't take much to offset your hard work.
I'd put a lot more into the fact you've picked up again, you've got a schedule and you're sticking to it. The pattern looks good, mix the intensity up and I think you'll see some positive changes.I was going to recommend "core and pressups" but seeing as I don't take my own prescriptions there it's a bit hypocritical of me.

Hey there LFGSS runners. I have picked it running again from the xmas break and been doing every second day (a 3-run pattern of long / short / short) without fail. Something that I've noticed this time around that didn't seem to be a factor previously - I'm not losing any weight. Diet is the same as before, and I'm not drinking, but the bulk I put on in the run up to Christmas just doesn't seem to want to budge.
Should I just be upping the distance? Was expecting to be seeing at least some results now, but nothing. I think not cycling to work every day any more is having an impact.
