I think there's a couple of general ideas that we all can agree on:
I ask because, at 230#, given that I'm not a world-class strength athlete, I'm pretty sure I'm in the first category - there's still some weight that I could run off. I'm trying to devise a long-term goal that makes sense. Where do I say "that's good enough".
And yes, I fully acknowledge that diet is priority 1 for body composition. I'm working on that too.
- Above a certain poor body composition, any work will improve body composition - even the often-maligned LSD roadwork. Put bluntly, if you are fat enough, you can run some of it off (assuming you can run).
- At some point, the return on investment on LSD in terms of body composition diminishes, and you're better off focusing elsewhere (probably high-intensity stuff). That is, at some point, the only reason to run further/longer is because you want to run further/longer, not to improve body composition.
