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?
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
How do I keep weight while running?

"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.

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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
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.
