It depends on your body type.

Just a complete guess, maybe 125-130. It isn't really that significant unless you are grossly underweight or overweight. People the same height can have completely different weights and still be at an appropriate weight because their body types are simply different. I say just don't worry about it, keep running, and you will end up where you need to be.

double your hight in inches

me 6'4 = 74 inches x 2 = 152lbs. i weigh 155 and up depending on the day

you 5'6 = 66 inches x2 = 132lbs.


it seems to work + or - a few lbs

Ash, that is within two pounds of my weight. I'm 6'0 (70 inches) and weigh 138. That works our just about right.

EDIT: And I look a little bit more like the guy in the second picture in pln09's post.

DOUBLE EDIT: Except not black. Or really fast.

Yah, weigh'ts definitly all relative, and be sure to keep in mind less is definitly not always better. I've actually been trying to put on a little(5'9", 115).
