The best tip I can offer is to repeat Glice's training long run once a week, a couple of short runs and definately 2 or 3 days a week for rest. At first I used to run everyday for probably 2 years and then I found when I took the rest periods every week I was stronger. My only problem was I smoked to much dope so I ate like crazy and I never lost any weight when I was running which was a period of about 10 years or so. I used to love swimming to a mile a day when training but still because of the weed I never lost weight.

have you considered changing your way of running, to a "shoeless" style? sneakers make people land on the heel but shoeless runners (kenyans, etc) do it differently

i've been applying that to my treadmill (just some thing i do in between weightlifting days) & it'z zero back/knee pain.
swimming btw is does not promote weight loss but great hunger-- maybe it was that & not the weed that kept your munchies
