> apparently, 10 pounds of weight loss is roughly a clothing size [XL → L → M] What? This is so wrong I'm confused how it could have possibly made it in. As a 5'7" guy, I was a M at 145, and still an M when I hit 175, thou

This is the most significant record in running to fall since 1954 when a sub-4 minute mile was run. I think running can be front page news once a century
