[quote=Anonymous]^^^ Interesting points. I’m one of those people who tends to gain a bit of weight marathon training. I’ve only run 2, and although I’m holding out hope I will one day do NYC, but I’m not interested in doing more. Both times the training just wrecked my body, both times when I got about to the 18 mile long run. The weight gain of maybe 2 or 3 lbs came from my hunger from the increased mileage just busting right past my normal sense of control when eating. I use half marathons for weight maintenance and also (along with eating at a deficit), weight loss (after the holidays, after having babies, etc). I try and do a spring and a fall half, and use the summer to focus on strength and stability. I’m a slow runner, like, I’d consider a sub-2 hour half a great time. But casual half marathon mileage is my “happy place” for weight maintenance and injury prevention. [/quote]
