Right now, I'm slowly bumping my weekly mileage while trying to lose my last 5-10 pounds. I'm a bigger runner (6'5" and 223 at the moment). Trying to get below 220 (and ideally closer to 215) before I really start hammering away on the mileage. I think that I'm at about 13.5% BF right now. Losing a few more pounds will help with speed and reduce cumulative impact over the course of the training/race cycle.

We are very similar. A few years ago I was 255 and hit as low as 205. I’m also 6’-5”. When my wife got pregnant with our second child I put running on hold and here we are about to hit his first birthday. Didn’t mean to take that much time off but life happens. 210-215 was a nice weight to run at and that’s where I hope to be before January. The little Rock Marathon is brutal I heard with the hills. Good luck!

OP: In a thread on a Disney board I have a running section and for races I use the following format.

Month
Day - username - race name w/ distance (goal time / result)

Not saying it’s the best way, but if your looking for ideas.
