Running Physique - The Myth Of The Perfect Runners Body
Have you ever heard the description “skinny little runner”? Don’t those words just seem to go together? Well, if you’ve ever watched a marathon or other distance event live or on television, you know that description is not always accurate.
There is no such thing as the “perfect runner’s body.” Runners come in all shapes and sizes. Too many women (and men) believe that “thin is in” or that really good or serious runners have to be skinny to be fast. It is simply a stereotype - being fit doesn’t always equate with a stick thin body.
