Well, since I was professionally measured by the university lab I paid to do it, I suppose I know what the percentages were. FYI, I am 6 feet tall. I raced at 135-137 up until I was 41-42. During the years I lifted I raced at 142-145. It was always a PITA to keep weight on during the season.
I'm not trying to argue with you, I'm just presenting the perspective of a retired runner who raced for 30+ years on an elite, sponsored level. Every elite level athlete has strength and weaknesses. I was thin with a high VO2 max. I trained to my strengths and this too, like not lifting, was a mistake.
And, I agree with you. In peak condition I was scary thin. I got sick a lot. I had all sorts of nagging injuries. Pain management was always a big part of the game. I am much healthier now at age 55+ and 155 lbs. I only run about 45-50 miles a week these days. I lift (if you can call it that) every other day. I feel great.

how was BF measured? and if you were that BF%, why did you do that? was it just not knowing better? and yea I would imagine that at BF% you had a few nagging injuries lol
and sorry mouton and myself are not trying to be dicks about the whole BF% thing its just we see people claim this all the time when they are actually at 12%. Like i said 4% is a unicorn.
and you really run close to 50 miles a week? I'm not judging I asking honestly, do you believe this to be healthy and good for your body?
