Answer 3

Yes! I eat like crazy but since i train so hard I'm still the same weight i was in high school. I'm not kidding you. Running excessivly actually makes me more hungry then i would normally do which is perfect since i LOVE to eat. There is not a single overweight person on my colleges xc team.  

Answer 4

yes it's like any excesses and when you run xc then your gonna lose weight and get skinny unless you eat like 5 thousand cal a day.
