Also, no sweat. She doesn't look like she's in the middle of exercising.

For fuck's sake, I run ultra marathons, there are LITERALLY never any overweight people there. This is fucking horseshit and if she's really running the kind of miles I run, she's going to be in a wheel chair in 5 years.

I'm not a runner, but a long-distance cyclist. When I'm doing a tour--or even just in summer when I'm logging some pretty serious miles--it's really hard to keep weight on. I have to be pretty much constantly eating. If she is indeed a long-distance runner, I can't imagine what the fuck she is stuffing into her face.

My fattest runnning buddy is my height and we run identical training sessions. He's about 20 pounds heavier than me, and I know it's because he has pizza for dinner most nights with a beer or two. I skip those and I have lost 5 pounds the last 2 years. I'm not sure if he's gained or maintained, but he's much bigger than me. So I would say the answer to your question is pizza, beer, and whatever the fuck else she wants to eat.

It says she runs 35 miles a week. That's five miles a day. That is nothing for someone who supposedly trains for ultras. That's not even what people run every morning for other sports.

I bet her "running" is more "counting steps on her phone", if even that, but I doubt it is.
I do that doing that 10K steps a day thing to hatch pokemon and shit. Then I go to the gym and jog a couple times a week, but then again, I'm not even close to fit.

I only ran about 40 miles a week this year preparing for my ultras. That number is probably ok. I mean, I'm not elite, I'm just a normal guy that does them. I think I got 8th in my age group at the one in August. At a 5K I can get first in age group and 2nd or 3rd overall at age 40 so that's where my strength is right now. Maybe I can move up in the ultras if I start running 200 miles a month. Not sure, I do have a job and a life and no sponsors, so 40 miles a week is about all I can swing.
