I'm doing track right now at my high school. I'm a sprinter: don't want the weight loss associated with distance. I'm 5'10" (1.78 m) and started at 163 lbs, now at 158 lbs after just week of practice! I wasn't fat to begin with, 31 inch waist. The same now, maybe barely less. I just saw myself in the mirror today and my upper body looked like I never lifted in my life, even though my lower body looked good. Anything I can do to keep weight?
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
How do I keep weight while running?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

ur just paranoid.
i'm a sprinter too and it's really hard for us to even loose weight.
the 5 lb different might have been the sh1t you took or the water that you drank.
in one week, no matter what you do, you will not be able to see a difference in your body.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
You're a sprinter yet you think you are losing muscle? That's wrong my friend. Firstly, because you are sprinting, you are putting lots of pressure on the muscle for a short period of time with builds up big strong bulky muscles rather than stamina muscles. As these muscles get stronger, your upper body begins to develop in order to compensate for the muscle power your legs have. When you sprint you use your legs to propel yourself and you use your upper body to keep your balance. A good sprinter will naturally have a strong upper body and strong legs, otherwise with a weak upper body, he would flap all over the place as his legs are too powerful for his upper body.
Don't worry about losing weight, it's probably excess fat, you won't lose weight from sprinting. Your upper body will naturally begin to develop in order to maintain balance and grow in sync with your legs.

You're right about the long distance running being associated with an overall decrease in muscle mass, but intense sprinting will have the opposite effect.....Instead of explaining all the physiological/hormonal effects here, I'll just post a link on it.
