BMI is bollocks, you could be 6ft 4 and ripped like a motherfucker weighing 17 stone and it'd still work out you was obese according to BMI.

160cm? That's whats doing you in then.
I wouldn't pay too much attention to it anyway, if you are putting that much mileage in I'd imagine you are pretty healthy, depending what you are munching in-between like.

You want to calculate your body fat percentage as BMI is quite simplistic.

BMI is good for the general population but for anyone athletic its a waste of time. Muscle weights more than fat however muscle is more dense so takes up less room.

25.99 bmi here. (supposed to be 25)
However I have very little fat and just muscle so I reckon I'm about bang on really.

Also I put on 5kg over the past 9months, which has taken me from borderline underweight to borderline over weight!
