I'm 26, male, 5'll'' and usually weigh between 170-175.
Here are my PRs (5k and 1/2 marathon PRs were set this year)
400: 53.2 (High School)
800: 2:05 (High School)
Mile: 4:45 (High school)
5k: 16:55 (2010)
1/2 Marathon: 1:19:50 (2010)
I'm know I suck for letsrun standards, but I'm hoping to drop some weight and set some new PRs.
180lbs
155:53 800m
9:42.32 steeple
27:17 very muddy 8k xc
im 6'6" tho so im still really skinny
5'5', 170 currently. A few months ago I weighed 180lb and "ran" a 5k in 19:00 after running no more than a couple miles a week. Also "ran" a 70 minute 10 miler
Been doing more running lately, 8 milers in 7:00 pace pretty easily. Did some messing around on a treadmill. I might be able to break 18. Maybe I'll enter a real race this fall.
170lb+ is nothing if you're upwards of 6ft+. We should do a BMI challenge. My current BMI is 28. Someone who's 6ft and my weight would be 22. 6ft with a BMI of 28? Would have to be 205-210lbs

6'2" 174- always got crap for being the fat guy on the team. couldn't dip below 170 even at 100mpw.

None are close to your goals, but when I was much younger I barely broke 18 for 3 miles (Grape Crush Rush in the late 70's) off only swim training. I was about 185 at the time and you had to do 6 minute pace to get a beer mug, 8 minute pace to get a shirt. No other awards, no overall, no male/female, no age groups. With the right incentive I'm sure sub-17 is possible.
5'10", 170-175 lbs.
1500 - 4:03
Indoor mile - 4:15
5k - 15:08
8k - 25:17 (with about 20 performances b/w 25:30-26:00)
I can bench press 225 lbs.
To be honest, when people see me they wouldn't guess I'm a runner. My build is just thick. I've been fighting my body my entire life running - I suppose I was meant to play high school varsity football and drink in college.
Back in the day I was one eighty five at five foot ten. Quite thick legged with a thin upper carriage. I do not think I could have gone much faster physically, but I wanted to win so bad (I couldn't sleep for days if I lost).
400: 49.7

I'm guessing that when Solinsky ran 13:12 a few years back he was 170 plus, I think he is under it now.
170 - 175 always (50 - 120 miles a week)

recovery from the long races are Tough for us big guys!
Wow! Thanks everybody for the surprising and enlightening responses. I weigh 170 (down from 185) and it is extremely tough for me to get into and stay in the 160's. Thanks for the inspirations.
My teammate in high school weighed 180+ and ran
800: 1:58

When I get to 171 pounds I will be way under 17 5K for I am running faster every week.
nate, i never understand how you look twenty lbs fatter than me, yet i outweight you...i hate you...and sorry, paramedic school means i'm missing cow harbor, have fun and say hello to everyone for me...
as for pb's.... @ 190lbs, 3:40.73 and 13:58.21, @ 175-180, 13:57, 29:03, 64:55, 2:21:18....still trying for that elusive 170lbs....fyi, starvation doesn't work, i've tried it! :)
cheers, dude-
5000: 13:12
3000: 7:36
But I'm soon moving somewhere where there isn't so much cheese, so hope to pare down the weight and the times.
6' and between 165-170 now. Best time at this weight probably 16:06 5k at XC last fall. I am probably in about 15:45 shape for a road 5k right now -- all casual competition over the past decade. Bests of 14:37, 30:22, 1:10 for the 1/2 all came around 150lbs and mad mileage.
I suspect there is some BS being spouted here, but anyways, here are my 170+ pb's
5k : 18:34
10 miles: 64:44
