Hey! So I am 5'9 and weight about 142. I am not fat and I am I guess skinny but I have huge thighs that are full of muscle. However, because of this I feel like it has limited myself in the events I do. You see, I like running the mile but my mile best is 5:07 while my 800m is 2:06..... How can I loose the muscle on my thighs while being able to train at a hard level? How can I loose it? I can't diet because I eat very healthy but won't have the necessary carbs and such to complete workouts. Any thoughts? I want to be a well rounded runner but only seem kinda good in the 800. Thanks!

Run more. Don't worry about it.

I was 5'5.5" 140-45 my entire running career. Ran 2:04, 4:27, 9:32, 15:43, 1:09:40, 2:32:44.

Just run. The rest will take care of itself.

Why not focus on getting as good as you can get at 800m?

If you want to "loose" the muscle on your thighs I would suggest visiting a massage therapist. Or get a foam roller.(PS - you have body dis-morphia)
