“that the perfect weight is the weight you are the day you P.B. in your event,” referring to the time you achieve your personal best — or fastest — finish.
-Tom Fleming (Slimmer Doesn’t Always Mean Fitter)
Good NY Times article about balancing training, performance, and weight. Lighter is better, but only to a point.
Fleming is a former 2:12 marathoner who won at New York twice and was a top ten finisher at Boston 6 times.

What's Your Racing Weight?
As a follow-up to Weber-Gale's AthleticFoodie company, I stumble onto a new book by Matt Fitzgerald called Racing Weight: How to Get Lean For Peak Performance.
From what I read on amazon's "look inside" feature, this is a worthwhile read even if you aren't battling those last couple of pounds.
I also checked out Fitzgerald's website, and found it loaded with great information.
