Runner's Paunch

It is a fallacy that because one runs every day, one cannot be overweight for competition. We require about 2500 calories a day to exist, and if we run 10 miles a day at a good pace we will burn and require a further 1000 calories. Thus if we consume 5000 calories a day, we are putting on weight! What’s more, if we are big fat-content eaters we can even develop a paunch.
