Inspired and instructed by Racing Weight, I’ve been keeping relatively close track of my weight, speed, and body fat since late last year.

For instance, when I started keeping track of this, on December 26, 2010, I weighed 179.8 pounds with a body fat of 29.1% and ran three miles at a 10:59 pace.

On Sunday, the day of the Johnny Faerber 10K, I weighed 179.4 pounds–almost the same–with a body fat percentage of 29.5–also almost the same–but ran a 10K (more than twice the length of the initial three mile run) at a 9:57 pace–more than a minute faster.

It’s hard for me–at least at this point–to find much of a body fat/body weight correlation with my speed.
