[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t outrun a bad diet. I don’t know any women who are thin who eats a crappy diet. Yes, I know women who “eat whatever they want” but I find that those women tend to not want a lot of junk or are really good at naturally stopping when full.

I also know quite a few overweight runners, were talking women who regularly run marathons. [/quote]

The overweight runners are probably maintaining their weight, albeit at a number that you find unacceptable. Without running they would weigh more.[/quote]

I never said I find them or their weight unacceptable. I just stated a fact. They are overweight and run a lot.

I also think running can increase appetite and be used as an excuse to overeat. "I ran 10 mile today" I deserve this or I need all these extra calories.

You are implying that the existence of people who are overweight and run a lot means that running doesn't work for weight management because otherwise they wouldn't be overweight. I'm saying they probably aren't trying to lose weight and are perfectly happy to maintain their current size and diet with a high activity level. Weight management is not the same thing as weight loss. [/quote]

Agree. OP specifically asked about weight maintenance [/quote]
