I'd say you should gain a little more weight.Maybe a little light but is okay.
if you do track that is a perfect weight especially that you exercise every day. also if you are really conserned about your weight you should go to the doctors and get a BMI (Body Mass Index) its your hieght based on your weight
Sprinting and jumping with plantar fasciitis?
Shoot for being healthy rather than weighing a certain amount. If you're five foot five, you're waist line should be roughly between 26.5 and 32.5 inches. A measuring tape, fat calculator, even a blood test will tell you more about where you should be than a scale. Opt for being healthy more than anything else!If you want to be running, eat right and run more. The weight will work it's self out.

How much does weight relate to running ability?
don't try to gain weight by eating ... try to gain it as muscle ... but that's not a bad weight b/c you are active ...Do you think it would be possible for me to get my mile run down to 5 minutes by fall?
You can calculate your body mass index by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in metres squared. Yours is:43.1kg/(1.65m^2)= 15.8
A body mass of 18-25 is normal weight so you're below average. Being a runner, you want to be a bit skinnier than average so it sounds as though you're an ideal weight. But I don't recommend losing any weight as this may become unhealthy.
Is runing 6km every day gonna help build stamina?
You have a good sprinter/hurdler/jumpers body. Since you are 14 and still growing, start doing some light free weights for arms, shoulders, ads, back, and legs. Just light though. Also start eating more protein in your diet, lean protein like sirloin steak, fish, and chicken.Stay away from sodas, I know how hard it is but try and limit them to sodas like sprite, 7up, one-cal pepsi, and diet and one per day. Eat lots of veggies, go crazy on the veggies. Make sure you are eating good carbs, like whole-wheat bread and pasta.
You have the potential to do some awesome running with your body type so make sure you stay good and healthy. Any weight you gain should be healthy weight from the protein, weights, and running. You'll look better, feel better, run faster, and make every guys' head turn.
you should do good at that weight if you're healthy at that weight if you're not healthy at that weight then gain to be 105 to 110, and if you work on gaining weight do it the healthy way(eat healthy protiens and lift weights)
Lactate Threshold, VO2 Max, Tempo, Easy?
don't worry about weight just make sure that you are eating health and remember for your body to preform it has to have fuel [ food] make sure you are eating a proper diet ask your coach or your doctor and they should help starving muscles are slow and weakit really depends on the distance you're running. I would say you're about perfect for the two mile... maybe the mile... anything shorter and you might want to get more muscle mass. especially anything less than the 400m. weight isn't really that significant, but generally distance people are more skinny, and sprinters ahve a little bit more muscle to get them going fast.
gain but this means i must need to lose more weight
Any one has an idea about New Balance 735??
you should weigh less so you can fun faster if u weigh more then the weight on you will slow u downHow can i become a faster runner?
It is hard to judge someone's weight because part of it is genetics. I would not worry about losing weight for sure, and since your a runner, i doubt your overweight and if you are, you would lose pounds naturally from the training. The most important thing that you need to do for running is making sure you get enough calories. A lot of people tend not to eat enough and by being runner, you need more calories. The key is not to just eat more in your 3 main meals but to add healthy snacks to eat in between meals like a bannana or something. Good luck in track.Where do you find pepper spray to buy?
There are several different variables that one has to consider when finding the weight they think they should be at. One is whether they are a male or female. Another thing is whether you are muscular or not.I am the same height as you and weighs 25lbs more and have done a PR in a 5k of 00:17:14 and a PR in a 4k of 00:13:03 as a freshmen in high school.
I know of another runner that is the same height as you and weighs 115lbs and have done a PR in a 5k of 00:17:24 and a PR in a 4k of 00:13:06 as a freshmen in high school.
I know of another runner that weighs 130lbs and is 6'1" and won the individual State title his senior with 00:16:05.
The weight of someone really matters on what works for him/her and what their body can handle. If you do gain weight do it the right way with eating foods that are good for your body and will benefit you in running (eating french fries don't count as vegetables) gradually over time. If you gain weight to fast with the wrong foods will sink you. If you would like any suggestion feel free to message about different foods that will help you progress in your running.
Good luck in track.
