[QUOTE="zicksi101, post: 1126142, member: 97084"] Nice active thread here. As far as motivations are concerned, for whatever reason, I've never been very motivated by complications. I've sat in clinic being lectured about the risk of them as a teenager, quite frankly finding it difficult to care. What seems to be more motivating to me is the thought of making it into old age healthy, you know, as one of those diabetes survivors that get interviewed about it. Also, I have noticed that my running fitness is actually *improving* since starting the IF, my easy run (less than 80% of maximum heart rate) pace just got 15s per mile faster. I don't know if that's a result of the IF or just some fitness improvement that was due to happen anyway, but the idea of improved performance is pretty motivating. Edit: Just to be clear, I'm saying aerobic fitness is improving here. I have since tried a 5k, and in that case found that my racing fitness is definitely NOT improving. [/QUOTE]
