 Posted: 05/10/03 - 10:41 Post subject: Weight Gain
I have checked my weight charts for the year and I have gained almost 3 pounds. Now I have consistently being running well. I have not added any weight training and my body fat has only increased maybe 1%
(from 5 to around 6 percent).
Could more running than last year add to the gain as muscle gain?

Why do you care about gaining 3 lbs. if you body fat % is still in the single digits? I think you've got a long way to go before you qualify as over weight and I don't think 3 lbs. of body weight is going to affect your run times much.

Just wondering really John. I think it is muscle wieght in my legs because my waist on up appears thinner!. It is just that I have not done anything really to gain the weight like lifting. No biggie really.

Probably not. More likely the 3 lbs is the increase you also see in the ~1% increase in BF%.
