How can you run 5mi every day and not be fit

My training plan varies between 3 and 6 miles a day, which I do at a ten minute mile. I am definitely potato shaped. I’m not the fastest, but I do it day after day.

theres different kinds of fit and shape is just one of them.

Sounds like you’re killing it!
If you eat enough, anything is possible!
Your cardiovascular health will improve, but it’s very easy to not lose weight when running is something that burns less Calories than many people think.
Agreed, health is gained by exercise, but weight is mostly lost in the kitchen.
Ehh, 5 miles (at the average pace of 10min/mile) burns 776 calories for 200lbs. That’s an entire large McDonald’s Double Quarter Pounder meal with calories to spare.

The funny part that comes after is that the human body is built for pure efficiency, and tries to offset burned calories by subconciously moving less throughout the rest of the day.

So in total, you won’t actually have burned an extra 776

You will be cardio fit. But it is still possible to be consuming more calories than you burn.
