Ilsa Pualson gets my vote.

For guys, Pat Porter ran at 6' and 132. That's pretty thin.

Me.

I'm 5'8 and weight 115-120 pounds. I've always have been skinny, though I eat, sleep, bike, and run plenty.

Probably some 12 year old girl who runs XC for her middle school team.

Wow! I thought 6' 140 pounds was just ridiculous, I can't imagine another 20 pounds skinnier.

Janeth Jepkosgei looks two-dimensional. Even more so when she's running alongside Caster Semenya.

Tergat raced well at 6'3" and 139#'s. Norpoth was best described as cadaverous.

Jesus. At first glance I thought oh, she's just thin. Then I saw how big Jordan Hasay looks next to her. RIDICULOUS.


A good example of healthy-skinny vs. unhealthy-skinny.

My initial thoughts were Kiprop and Paul Tergat.

Here's a reference for some of the faster people who have bothered to race (some thinner than others):

I was going to do a height/weigth ratio but I can't copy the table into excel.
