MJ/weight loss injections and marathon training?

I’m training for the London marathon. I’m a slow runner, and have run for years, despite my weight.

I am totally fed up of my weight and have tried so much, but I’m mid-40s and had to take steroids a few years ago and put on loads, but have not been able to lose it.

Has anyone done the injections and significant training for a marathon? Should I just wait until after?

I reckon you could try it and see how you feel after a few weeks. I’m training a lot on MJ, gym rather than running, but I’ve also been a runner. I take a low dose and pay very close attention to nutrition and it’s fine. I eat enough to exercise and lose about 1kg a week. But there’s quite a range of reactions to the medicine.
