Hi I am a 15 year old femal distance and xcountry runner.I am 5.6/7 and weigh 8stone 1 lb.
At the start of the season I have noticed that I am finding 3 k difficult to get any significant result , dispite training 4 times a week with my club, swimming stamina training, 2 hours and 2 hour fencing.
I have noticed with few exceptions that the girls who keep going the longest are always lighter than me!
I am not about to develop an eating disorder! BUT is there a connection here? It makes sence that the lighter you are, the less youhave to carry around with you!
Would it be a good idea to lose a few pounds, say 5/6? (healthily!)
Also I would like to build up my stamina through strength training. how can I do this?
Thank you
