Man I see so many fat runners around it's not funny, mainly women. They pound the gels like they're going out of business even on a 5 or 10k. No wonder the're putting on weight.

i can't imagine getting fat while training for a marathon.. i never use gels (or ingest anything when running), i eat light, and sometimes i have to force food into me after my evening session -> too beat down from a session to want to eat (and actually not hungry).
i just don't get why/how you would allow yourself to balloon up knowing that adding extra fat will make you slower, ESPECIALLY over the course of a marathon........... wtf? :uhhhfacepalm:

That's probably another part of the equation. Are they actually improving their times and getting faster?
Unlike sprinting where it's all about time with marathons and half-marathons etc. the achievement for a lot of people is just being able to finish the race. It sounds like these people are just training to run marathons more for the social aspect of it and to say that they finished 'x' number of marathons because most people (myself included) know nothing about the times and what's fast for a marathon, but are impressed with people that can do them.
In fairness she was already chubby to begin with. She went from chubby to obese.
