What is the Appropriate Body Fat Percentage for a Runner?

Posted Mar 22 2010 2:11pm

  • If weight loss is the goal, it should be done mostly in the off season and assessed in the off season
  • During training, reduction in calories will not improve performance
  • If body fat percentage is too low, lean muscle mass will be lost which is necessary for performance and health
  • Progress in athletic performance should always be monitored by performance markers, and not by weight gain or loss.
