Running 7-8 miles on a low deficit is ok to do?
5’1F 22yrs 103lbs
& normally 98/100lb range. But had shin splints so now I’m back to running 7-8 miles a day.
Will I have any heart problems etc running that much in a deficit?
Thinking maybe 1300 cal a day? This cut wouldn’t be more than 1-2 months I would say
I used to run 7.5 miles in a hour & lift being 96lbs (not knowing I was) but now my running speed is a little slower than that & I don’t lift besides leg day which I may switch for Pilates
