Yeah, when I was regularly running long distance I seemed to naturally maintain a balanced caloric intake. Then I injured myself so badly that I needed to stop running for 5 months. Never fully got back to my ritual and then I gained 40lbs. A few years have passed and my attempts to restart my running all end with me taking a break nursing weird muscle and tendon pains that last for weeks. So I guess my point is: yes, it actually is possible to out-train your diet, but that's only a good plan as long as you never hurt yourself.
