Your heaviest weight.

Around 200 at 5/11

I am 5'11 but have always been slim and light. Race weight was 115-120. Couldn't gain weight to save my life, after 7 years of doing nothing I was still hovering around 135. I switched jobs and was up to 200 in 8 months.

Starting running and lifting and dropped down to 150ish in around 4 months. As I continued to put on my muscle I moved up into the mid-high 160s. Broke my wrist this summer and couldn't lift - dropped into the 140's. Best I've felt running wise since high school.

btw, I used the name Sasquatch* here for several years, but never registered it. I'm sure I wasn't the first to use it and now you have it fair and square. I cede Sasquatch to you and will also discontinue using Sasquatchy.

*I wear size 16 shoes

Haha, I'm just rather hairy.

I'm 5' 10" and I maxed out at 187 lbs. as a senior in college.

I ran cross country (only for training purposes) and track at Purdue about a decade ago, and weighed about 175 lbs., which would have made me "overweight" using the standard BMI evaluation.

I don't think I've weighed below 170 since I was 16 years old. From my earliest running days, up to now, most people running similar times as I do, or faster, have always been much skinnier.

275 in college (defensive lineman)

275 after first kid (fat)

198 for my most recent PR (1:34 half)

6'4"

Hav been trying to get into the 180s for a year, but I can't seem to get below 205. sadface

20-22 College at 5'9'' 137-140 racing fast for me (3:50 1500, 31:15xc) heaviest in college: 147

23-26 Early Post College at 5'10'' 140-143 (consistent 67HM, 50-51 10milers 15flat roads, 31lows) Heaviest Early Post College: 149

27-30 Later Post College at 5'10'' 143-146 (1:08s hm, 52:xx 10 milers, 31:high 10ks 2:2Xhigh marathons) Heaviest Later Post College: 157

Differences: College I slept more than I ate, didn't drink unless it was after a Sunday long run or a race = low weight. However always sick at least.

Post College: after car, rent, insurance, and bills, not a lot of extra income, so I didn't eat as much and hardly went out, but drank most in my life. low food = lighter. Body also just grew a bit naturally put on weight

Later post college: Making more money, focusing on career more and family too. Still running well, but can go out to eat more, have more casual beers (though don't drink as much) etc. still can get into the 143-146 area an race well. Last year, had an injury which required time off near holidays, and ate and drank a ton put on 10 lbs, lost it all in about 5 weeks though and am currently around 145 now.

Similar to Big Fella - I'm 5'10"/11" range and at my skinniest was about 165 in college. I was super lean and running a ton of miles training for 1500 meter focus. I just have a more muscular build. Running pure marathons and ultras in my late 30s, now, and recently dipped below 160 just barely. Friends and co-workers have danced around asking if I'm OK and making passing comments about how skinny I am. I just never had that skinny build where typical distance guys my height were literally 30 or so pounds lighter than I was.

I maxed out at 190 right around the end of college when I was working at a deli and not running. I didn't really look that heavy since I tend to bulk up really easily, anyway.

5'7" 128 (15:40 5k) in college ... 207 (off season body building) 10 years later ... 173 currently

almost 80lb difference at my peak compared to college

I run 20 minutes every other day on average (around 8:30 pace)

6' tall

Heaviest: 192lbs (2.5 years ago). Not running. Pretty sedentary.

Started running and cut out sugars (artificial, added, refined). Lost 25lbs in 4 months.

Currently: 165lbs

Not fast, but really enjoying running. Targeting a 1:34:59 HM next month. Could probably stand to lose another 5lbs or so, but can't be bothered.

6'4" - was 255 in 2009, now 210 but not ideal racing weight. I'll continue the battle to 190. I think that would be ideal for me. Going for 3:15 Marathon PR in ChiTown this weekend.

210+ 20 months ago during a 13 year layoff from running. 6ft. Now 155. Plant based diet and running miles ftw

Ideal race weight 135-137. Max 150 when I was injured in college.

When I'm not running my appetite plummets, and I don't keep enough junk food at home (even though I love eating it) to gain weight that way. So I very rarely get much above 140 these days.

150 at heaviest

135 racing weight at peak during high school

My heaviest weight during football season in HS was 165

During track season was 147.

In college was when I was at my heaviest ever...I reached 194 pounds on a 5' 8.5" frame.

Since a few years after college, I have managed to stay between 170-180 over the last period of 15-16 years.

I had a best of 19:56 at 147 pounds

I had a best of 21:04 at 176 pounds

I had a best of 20:36 at 171 pounds

and, I had a best of 19:35 at 172.

I still claim that it's training over weight for results

Right now I'm at my heaviest at 170 6'3" with a 28-29 inch waist

Late high school back in 1970s-- football and hockey player who did light off-season running. @ 5ft-11in, was typically 170-180 lb. Ballooned to 35-in waist, trying to convince myself it was mostly muscle and needed bulk. Summer after graduation and before college, I stepped on a scale and it read 199 lb. Then and there, I decided I didn't want to ever be anywhere near 200 lb.

Dropped 15-18 lb first few years of college. (Dorm food was good in that it was easily to avoid; before days of fast food within US college campuses.) In grad school and first job, had to live cheaply and I remained active. Got back into running in my 30s, and have since continued hobby-jogger "racing." Most of it was in the 170-175 lb range.

Now, in my mid-50s, do the occasional "fitness test" race of distances 5k-half. Weight is in 166-175 lb range. Also have less muscle, though. :(

Racing weight 145-150 6'0

Until age of 40 heaviest was around 180

12 years on with injuries and getting married about 200-205.

I should go to gym or cycle or something when injured but only really ever liked running.

Been for a short run today though if I ever get some consistent running in for a few weeks weight comes down but usually get niggles stoping me.
