Sorry about the mismatch Ive always weighed myself in kilos and my height in inches.
Weird but then thats me to a T
I don't think I have ever topped 10st, I was close last xmas but then took up running which caused the weight(!) to drop off.
Sometime ago I wished I was a bit bulkier, but for running I am finding this is the ideal frame to have.
Blisters - you are right about tailwind, although in a headwind it gets tricky
But I'm over 5 stone lighter than I was 2 years ago so that's gotta be a good thing.
am now 11+1/2 st which seems to stay fairly constant.
i have a tanita fat monitor scales thingy, which i hoped would show improvement in my general fitness the most %fat i've been is 23% am now about 18%. i try to judge this more than my weight.
i seem unable to get this fatty figure lower.
can't face a serious change in diet so will just live with it.
this is a bit of a ramble, but may be of some interest.
macky
But usually around 67-68kg
If I drop below 65 kg, people tell me how ill I look and I can't sit comfortably on chairs as my ass bones don't have any padding!
I find that if I weight myself before and after swimming, I can lose 1 kg by swimming 1000 metres, which seems weird!
I think it's because as runners we know that it's easier to run with less weight. Always looking for that ultimate race fitness!
Emer.My mileage is only about 25 to 35 a week and my food intake is usually
Breakfast 3 wheatabix
Lunch 6 haves of sandwich(pack lunch with 2 chocolate bars,packet of crisp and 2 bananas).
Tea normal cooked tea eg pie and chips,pork chops etc.
No supper
Also i might pig out on the odd biscuit.
Oh i nearly forgot about 5 to 8 pints of guiness a week
I'm 164cm, 56kg. Which suits me fine...
Btw, LLL, I reckon I eat about twice as much as you in a 'normal' week, so I'm not really surprised you're not putting on weight!
p.s. When I used to live in the US, people would enviously comment that I must have been anorexic because of my slim figure. That was just horrible in so many ways! Glad I don't get those sorts of comments now!
REally annoys me. Got quite militant last time someone said it to me!
I'd rather be taller than thinner... and as there's not a lot I can do about my height, I might as well be happy!
Hilde - I used to wear 3-3.5" heels all the time, and then earlier this year I realised that they were probably contributing to the knee pain! So I wear them only on special occasions now... like work, shopping, around the house ;-)
Unfortunately all my friends have noticed, and have suddenly started taking the piss out of me for being a short@rse - they all thought I was 5'7" for years...
I don't think I'm ready for 3" stilettos just yet though. My wife would divorce me.
(I think that the running has made me shorter...unlikely to be due to spinal compression, more likely to be due to a rack full of knotty muscles from toe to neck)
I ran my best at 70.5kg, three years ago. My mass crept up to 77kg, then fell by 7kg earlier this year (stress, not exercise). Things are back in proportion now and I'm happy with my statistics.
height: 166cm
weight divided by gravity: 54ishkg? Don't really know.
But I haven't done it for about six months, been running instead and now I'm back down to 5'5".
By Grim I'll probably just walk under the netting...
