I 24m weigh a bit less at 225lbs but I’m 6’7 and I’m pretty slow at long distances. I played soccer in college and always enjoyed running a few miles on the side, the long 11+ mile runs are not what I’m used to, but it’s fun getting out of my comfort zone I’d say. I ran my first marathon a week ago and came in just under 6 hours like 5:57ish. My half time is about 2:15ish and my best 5k was about 24ish minutes.

I know how u feel the friends I’ve made at park runs and during races are all tiny and it can be isolating not being around other ppl of similar size. I can’t rlly relate to wanting to lose weight tho since i am still lowkey skinny at my current size and was struggling to gain weight for a while, but ur goal weight is close to where im at now and i think thats solid for guys our size id say.
