[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t out-cardio a bad diet.[/quote]

Marathon training could.  But OTF isn’t that - just as the weight training isn’t all that, the cardio isn’t *that* much.  It’s not a super rigorous workout, though it gets people moving and that itself is great.[/quote]

Nah. I’ve known a lot of overweight marathoners. Cardio stimulates appetite and it’s not that hard to eat back even marathon training calories. Even when eating “clean.”[/quote]

Yes, and these “marathoners” are “running” over 9 minute miles. See, I can be judgmental too! [/quote]

You’ve misunderstood me entirely. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being overweight. Some of them make perfectly respectable times. But it’s just false that marathon training will let you out-run the fork. Your hormones are working overtime to prevent exactly that. [/quote]

Everybody is different. When I’m training for half or full marathons, and any kind of long course triathlon, I struggle to keep weight on. So yes, I can outrun my diet. Running doesn’t increase my appetite wildly like it does for others, and I’m not toodling around either.

You should stop making assumptions. That’s what you are missing about this whole thread. The whole thread is premised on being judgmental about exercise, diet, or both.

People should figure out what works for them and stop commenting and comparing others.

With that, I’m going to eat again so I don’t wake up hungry. [/quote]
