• priority — for me at my age BMI beats running fitness, but immunity and energy level (vague) are ranked somewhere in between. See also my wellness priorities blogpost
  • When it comes to my running fitness, clock is less important than (vague) feeling light and strong
• “While I understand weight loss is an important goal for many runners, don’t become a slave to the numbers on the scale. Pay attention to how you feel – do you have more energy, feel stronger, starting to fit into your clothes better?”
• “If you weigh yourself everyday, you’re simply measuring day-to-day fluctuations in your hydration levels  and other non-essential weight metrics.”
• “While it (i.e. muscle growth) may not look great on the scale, it’s much healthier and will help you to continue to get faster.”
• “Running and Eating Healthy, But Gaining Weight” — we need to accept and understand it

• “The harder you train, the more often you will get hungry and the real secret is to refuel with nutrient dense and high quality foods.”
