There are some real skinny people that do nothing and eat like crazy, clearly their metabolism is very high. I also think that your body adjusts to stress and so I burn fewer calories running than a new runner would. Just my theory, but it seems that my body has really "adjusted' to running stress. BUT, if I mix it up then things change. Metabolims I think is key and how to effectively change that?? Let me know.....Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932204633264030421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-124160833070692205.post-55914501712257917382009-03-24T12:04:00.000-04:002009-03-24T12:04:00.000-04:00I can say that when I've finished 100 milers, I ha...I can say that when I've finished 100 milers, I haven't seen any fat finishers. I can also say that the "walk 100 miles in 24 hours" club consists, to the best of my knowledge, of slender people (me being the big exception; bad pun, I know :-) )<BR/><BR/>But yeah, it is "calories in, calories out" and the "calories out" goes down as we age. Sorry. <BR/><BR/>Oh yes, the point of ultra locomotion is to cover miles as EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE. That means, "few calories per mile". ;-)Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953435368705942387noreply@blogger.com
