Hey everyone,

I have a half marathon coming up in a couple months and I’m trying to cut weight in a strict, efficient manner to preform my best. My arms and legs are decently fit but I have a lot of belly/chest fat that’s just never budged so my proportion looks a bit funky. Anyway I’m wondering what exercises/diet you guys think would be best to prepare. I’m not too knowledgeable in this area but I’m guessing a low caloric, high protein diet with moderate to long distance walks/runs and core workout but I want to hear what you guys think more specifically. Also any tips like if it’s better to eat a moderate amount to fuel my training. I’m 23M 6’0, 188LB

Each response is greatly appreciated.
Note: I am not a great runner by any means, just signed up for a challenge.
