I have been training for 3 months for the Army 10 miler. I have gotten stronger but gained 2 in in my waist. We have 3 long runs a week 7 miles or more upto 12. 2 times a week we have speed workouts mileage no less then 4. I have gained about 7 pounds but have no idea why my stomach has gotten out of control. I don't eat terrible and don't feel that I have changed my diet to much since i started. Please help what should I do.

I ran my first Army 10 miler in Iraq. It was very hot and I was at least 30-40 pounds or more overweight. I don't know why things like your waist and my weight do things they shouldn't do, but concentrate on your running--the waist will work out.

If you haven't changed your diet I would tell you to keep doing the same thing. Perhaps your body is reacting to the increased workload but as your body gets more confortable with the training it should get back to where it was. You will then probably even slim down more.
Good luck with the race!
