I have been told by several people, runners and non-runners alike, that I am underweight(M/5'8"/120lbs). And I have to admit, I've been rather weak after workouts, and at my job (which I'm on my feet all day at). As a marathon runner, I fell into the line of "lighter is faster" thinking, ignoring the fact I was burning muscle w/the fat. I can't really scale back my mileage too much, as I have a marathon coming in April...any guesses as to a better weight for me? In addition, how much more caloric intake should I have to gain muscle and not fat?
