Wow, that’s some versatility right there. Looks like your weight fluctuates a lot based on the distance. There has got to be a story to go along with these numbers.

That's due to Einstein's relativity. Mass of an object increases with it's speed.

Best thing I've read all day. Except when I re-read my post of course.

5'3", 120 (female)

5:01 - mile

17:03 - 5000m

35:35 - 10,000m

1:21 - half marathon

I don't look like the typical skinny runner; I'm stockier than everyone who is a similar speed.

I won a lot of small road races in 2010--2012, and once or twice I was literally asked to move off of the starting line, because it was "for the faster runners." Both times, I calmly explained that I was on the starting line because I was planning to win the race, and then 18 minutes later I did so.

I have always wanted to have the skinny runner physique, but the stealth aspect of no one expecting me to be anything special, and then exceeding expectations, is a silver lining.

my weight hasn't helped me on the roads but I've always had more of a kick than anybody else I raced against. Having some muscle mass isn't the worst thing in the world.

Times, please!!!

for a given individual I think % body fat is a better indicator of what opportunity you have to reduce weight and run faster. I was 5'11" and 156 lbs. when I set my marathon PR of 2:33 but I was only between 5% and 6% body fat. Strictly looking at height and weight you would probably say I should have dropped 15 lbs. but given my body type and baseline % fat that would have been a really bad idea. Even at the % body fat I was I seemed to be more prone to colds and other illness than most folks
