Fat acceptance?
BMI is not often a proper indicator of..anything for runners.
If that was the case, anyone with a BMI over 25 should stop running for the sheer logic that they are fat
But then take the issue farther.
No medical professional would call a man with a 34-35 inch waist fat.
Invariably, you might, but that is not medically sound.
Are you really sure you know what you are talking about?

You should stop running for sheer lack of logic and the fact that you're fat.
Update: lost .33 pounds today.
But, I won't.So now what?

Running is not a beauty contest.

Ummm, ever heard of Jordan Hasay?
I like this for several reasons.Yes, I most certainly have heard of Ms. Hasay as I feel that she fits in a discussion including Meseret Defar and Tirunesh Dibaba as well as Priscah Jeptoo and Brenda Martinez for physical and running beauty.But..Neither of the aforementioned feel the need to judge runnersAnd neither of the aforementioned have done so.Yes, I have heard of Hasay. And if some people here would be more like her, then we could all race without judgment...Except, of course for those who feel the need to evaluate Hasay's appearance, which some do.B]NotTheUsualEverHeardOfGuy wrote:

I don't know , but you better put down that fork and push that plate back just in case I can whoop you.
Is that a challenge? Don't talk smack unless you mean it...🤓

Yes, I challenge you to put down your fork. The OP for that matter too.
Where did you get that rule about not talking smack?
No need to focus on weight. Just focus on training.
These anecdotes about running better 10 pounds heavier are worthless. You people saying them should know. That can only be part of the story.
Unless the 10lb put someone deeper into a truly unhealthy anorexic state. Otherwise, poorer distance running would only come from someone who didn't know how to be thin with good energy, and train well, In other words the rest of the picture.
Even the anorexic would run very well before they crashed and burned if they
timed it right.
Stoppit ... nobody gives a shit how fat your are or how you look.
But if you lost weight, you would have an easier time getting faster.
I put my folk down a long time ago, you're too busy talking smack about "maybe" you could whoop me...lol
