It's not a discrete scale, ceteris paribus every single kg will make you slower and increase injury risk. It's continuous.

- eesmith 9y agoIf you wish to phrase things that way then feel free to reinterpret the discussion chain thusly: 1) spyhi used a continuous scale: "also never been fatter" 2) _qhtn switched to a discrete scale: "Do fat Americans run" 3) I replied to that question, that yes, "fat Americans run", objected to _qhtn's discretization of a continuous scale, and gave a pointer to a paper regarding BMI, which assigns categories like "overweight" and "obese" to the continuous scale. Your comment comes across like you think I didn't know the difference between continuous and discrete, when that was the point of my response.
