Secrets of Skinny Runners

Have you ever seen a skinny runner on the road or at a race and thought, "They're so lucky to be naturally thin." Well, contrary to popular belief, those thin runners usually need to work at it. They follow healthy eating and lifestyle habits that help them maintain their svelte physiques.

For example, skinny runners make sure that running is a priority in their lives. They don't let excuses get in the way of their running. They know that there may be times when their motivation is lacking, but they have plenty of motivation strategies to get them through the tough times. Runners who stay thin try to be selfish when it comes to fitting their runs into their busy lives because they know the important physical and mental benefits they get from running.

Want to be like a skinny runner? Follow these tried-and-true strategies to lose weight and keep it off.
