So what are you going for here? to run faster or be leaner? Sounds like its going to be hard to be both. Its a very fine line that even elites have trouble with.
Also no breakfast after a morning run??
Good point.. I think you’re right. I gotta deal with being skinny fat and running fast vs. dieting and compromising my performance.
I usually get home from my run around 11.30-12, so it’s lunch time by then

What do you do to supplement your running? Any lifting? A core routine? Running alone likely won't give you that lean shredded look you're going for. You need to look into cross training. That'll help you target some of your current skinny fat areas more directly in a way running or dieting can't.
5'9 at 144 ain't exactly fat. Are you even sure your body can lose that much more weight? Not everybody at 5'9 can get down to 130 like you would as an elite marathoner.
Also, increase your vegetable intake. Great way to get calories in, feel satisfied, get your nutrients, and not gain weight.

I hit the weights 2x a week - mainly hip abductor work + core, as well as some upper body stuff (pullups, shoulders). I bike maybe 20 miles a week too and sometimes do hot yoga. That seems like a good idea... upping my weight training should certainly help
What is more valuable to you, looks or performance? I have the 6 pack but envy the fatties doing 1 min per mile pace faster than me
When I was at my leanest and looked my best, I was also slow because I cut out most carbs to get that dry look. Being absolutely shredded isn't always consistent with having the best performance
