I don't mean to preach or come off as a know-it-all but as a woman you better watch your muscle mass, It's far too important to your health. You're going to lose around 10% naturally over the next 15 years and long distance running only ups that percentage. Not to mention what you're doing to your joints,ligaments and cartilage running long distance.
Thumbs up for your effort! Sounds like your ability, will & determination has far exceeded your comfort and pleasure seeking.
P.S As a polite suggestion, I recommend sprinting/interval training and light weight lifting to maintain what muscle you already have, and then as you advance in technique start pushing heavier weight to gain more lean muscle mass.
...and don't forget how important essential fat( 12-20% )is too your bone marrow, central nervous system, muscles, vital organs and reproductive system.
You're a smart person so you probably know all this already. I just give people the heads up/reminder sometimes as I've seen people close to me deteriorate because of diet and exercise, it's a sensitive subject for me, anyway, Good-Luck! & Keep It Up!
