Er muss vielmehr das für ihn optimale Gewicht finden, wer hungert, wird garantiert auf Dauer auch nicht schnell laufen können.

Most coaches use the Stillman height/weight ratio table for distance runners. The average man is allocated 110 lbs (50kg) for the first 5 feet (1.524m) in height. Thereafter, he is allocated 5½ lbs (2.495 kg) for every additional inch (O.025m) in height.
Thus, a man 6 feet tall (1.829m) would be allocated 110lbs (50kg) plus 12 x 5½lbs (2.495kg), which comes to 176 lbs or 12 st 8lbs (80kg). The exceptions to the rule are Japanese wrestlers, heavyweight boxers and certain rugby players, who aim to exceed this weight. Females are allocated 100 lbs (45kg) for the first 5 feet (1.524m) and 5lbs (2.268kg) for every inch thereafter. Therefore a woman who is 5 ft 6ins (1.676m) tall would be given 100 lbs plus 6 x 5lbs, which totals 130 lbs or 9st.4lbs (59kg).
These allocations are considered healthy guidelines for non-active people. However, a distance runner needs to weigh less, about 5 to 10 per cent less. This makes our 6 foot tall male requiring to be 8 to 17 lbs less than his 1761bs, around 168lbs to 159 lbs. And our female of 5ft 6ins should be around 6 lbs to 13lbs less, around 124 lbs to 117 lbs.
The key factor in successful distance running is your height : weight ratio.
The late Dr George Sheehan, a prolific and highly regarded writer on distance running, considered that weight relative to height was the key factor in distance running success. He was also on record as saying: 'I've long since learned never to discuss a man's politics, religion or diet with him'.
The subject of adjusting weight to improve performance is a touchy one. When an article on this appeared in a sports journal it brought an indignant reply from a nutritionist: 'It is dangerous to be significantly underweight for one's height'. It is also extremely dangerous to be overweight for one's height, a point that seemed irrelevant to her.
No man six feet tall and weighing 176lbs (79.8kg) will ever win the London Marathon, and it is unlikely that a woman five feet six inches in height and weighing 130lbs (58.9kg) will ever do so either. Why? To answer this we must consult Dr Stillman's height/weight ratio table. He fixes the non-active man's average weight for height with a simple formula. He allocates 110lbs (56.2kg) for the first five feet (1.524m) in height and 5 1/2lbs (2.296kg) for every inch (0.025m) thereafter. He is harsher with women, giving them 100lbs (45.3kg) for the first five feet and 5lbs (2.268kg) for every inch above this.
Having established the average, he then speculates on the ideal weight for athletic performance, as follows:
Sprinters (100-400m): 2½ per cent lighter than average (6ft/176lbs - 2½% = 4lbs)
Hurdlers (100-400m): 6 per cent lighter (or 9lbs) Middle-distance runners (800m - 10K): 12 per cent lighter (or 19lbs)
Long-distance runners (10 miles onwards): 15 per cent lighter (or 25½lbs)
Matching the figures to reality
How do these figures compare to past record holders? Here is a list of some of them:
Emile Zatopek - 5'81/2' (1.740m)/154lbs (69.8kg): same as the average man
Herb Elliott - 5'101/2' (1.791m)/147lbs (66.6kg): 11 per cent below average
Kip Keino - 5'9' (1.753m)/146lbs (66.2kg): 9 per cent below average
Seb Coe - 5'10' (1.778m)/120lbs (54.4kg): over 20 per cent below average
Steve Cram - 6'11/2' (1.867m)/153lbs (69kg): 15 per cent below average
Linford Christie - 6'21/2' (1.89m)/170lbs (77kg): 10 per cent below average
Wendy Sly - 5'51/2' (1.66m)/113lbs (51kg): 11 per cent below average
Yvonne Murray - 5'7' (1.70m)/111lbs (50kg): 18 per cent below average
Sally Gunnell - 5'6' (1.67m)/124lbs (56kg): 5 per cent below average
Ingrid Kristiansen - 5'61/2' (1.68m)/128lbs (58kg): 4 per cent below average
Tatyana Kazankina - 5'31/2' (1.61m)/110lbs (49kg): 6 per cent below average
Greta Waitz - 5'61/2' (1.689m)/110lbs (49kg): 17 per cent below average
There are one or two anomalies in these figures. For instance, Zatopek, who gained three gold medals in the 1952 Olympics (5km, 10km and marathon) weighs the same as the average man of his height. And Ingrid Kristiansen, who ran a marathon in 2:21.6, is just below the average weight for her height. However, note the staggering percentage below the normal for Seb Coe, who broke 12 world records in four years. If we take the average of these 12 world-class athletes, they weigh 10 per cent less than the average person of their height. So we must conclude from this that Drs Sheehan and Stillman had a point to make of considerable importance.
Many years ago I had an athlete aged 20 who was running about 40 miles a week for the mile event. However his weight/height ratio was that of a non-active person, and his miling progress was limited. He went on a cycling holiday in Europe with the ambitious plan of cycling 100 miles a day for a month. On his return I hardly recognised him. He had lost two stone in weight. Now, Cooper has postulated that 4-5 miles of steady cycling is physiologically equal to one mile of steady running, so this athlete had been doing the equivalent of 20-25 miles of running a day. More to the point, his mile time took a quantum leap of 16 seconds for the better. This convinced me that an athlete's weight is something that neither coach nor athlete can ignore.
Aim first for a 10 per cent drop
The first man we know of who considered weight-watching to be a relevant factor was Jack Lovelock (NZ) who won the 1936 Olympic 1,500m in a world-record time. He was a medical student, and weighed himself immediately after every race (880 yds, mile, two miles). He soon discovered that his best racing weight was 9st 61/2lbs (59kg); if he was more than this, he wasn't fit enough, if he was significantly under, he was stressed.
Das Optimalgewicht zu finden ist wirklich nicht so einfach; Fakt ist das sich die Leistungskurve bei der Gewicht - Tempo Relation bei einer Grenze nach unten wieder umkehrt und man bei weiterem Gewichtsverlust Leistung abbaut.
Nun frage ich: wer hat denn diese Grenze schon ausgetestet? Wer hat den Willen dazu?
Auch darin besteht ein Unterschied zwischen Spaß und Ambition.
Nebenbei: wir sprechen hier von einer rein funktionellen Steuerung des Gewichtes wie jeder Profi sie einbeziehen muss in seinen Jahreszyklus, was bedeutet dass das Wettkampfgewicht nicht gleich der Dauerzustand sein kann und mann ebenfalls starke Schwankungen zwischen trainiertem Zustand und Regenerationsphasen beobachten kann.

, wobei man da natürlich auch wissen müsste wie du schwerpunktmäßig trainierst. Deine Zeiten aus der Signatur sind jedenfalls alle recht "stimmig", d.h. passen gut zusammen ohne das man dort einen signifikanten Schwerpunkt bzgl. kürzerer oder längerer Langstrecken sieht. Lediglich die Marathonzeit fällt leicht ab, wenn man mal extrem pingelig ist. Wobei jetzt natürlich auch nicht ersichtlich ist, ich welcher Form du auf welcher Strecke zur Zeit der PBs warst, die 5er Zeit ist ja z.B.aus 2005.
