Is there a formula for working out your ideal running weight? I know there are B.M.I calculators available, but from what i have read they don’t take into account for the extra muscle weight of an active person.
I am 5ft 10in tall, male, 51years old and weigh 156 pounds.
I have been on a steady diet for the past two years, but have never had a target running weight in mind, i’m just not sure what the healthy numbers are for my above statistics.
Any advice would be great, it’s distance running that interests me, not sure if that needs to be factored into the equation. I think i’m close to where i should be but would like some conformation so i can go an celebrate with a big slice of chocolate cake (Insert Homer Simpson drool here). Thanks
