Cutting sugar will cause big energy problems with your runs. You may need to add 1-2 days of higher intensity training and heavy lifting 1-2 days a week as well. Remember running burns about 100 calories per mile. So people tend to think...oh I ran 3 miles I can eat like crazy today? That's basically 1 single candy bar and you voided the whole run. Just my 2 cents.

Spot on.
