Really I just can’t believe at my age I could run for longer and faster than ever... hopefully all this running will help reduce that spare tyre sometime soon?
W7R3 - getting faster : Really I just can’t... - Couch to 5K

Well done!
The spare tyre will shift if you keep running but also cut the calories you eat. Unfortunately the calories burned in a run aren’t huge compared to what we eat.

On the 21 May, I ran W5R3, that is the 20-minute run, according to my app my pace was 08.40/km and burned 167 calories. I graduated exactly three weeks ago today, however, this morning because of the heat I decided just to run for only 20 minutes rather than 30, my pace today was 06.45/km and burned 225 calories. I like your description of 'spare tyre', I think most people, especially men have that, some women as well.
I guess the trick is to spend more time running and less time enjoying tasty 😋 treats!

Well done Dave! You’re doing brilliantly! Yes some of us ladies do have a stubborn spare tyre too! Working on running it out of the vicinity! Hopefully, it shall surrender! 😁❤️
