Right now im at 205 pounds and really want to race at about 180. My current half marathon is a 1:30 and i want to know if anyone has had experience in speed increase with weight loss. Thanks

rule of thumb is 25 secs per lbs for a half marathon.  I went from a 13 min mile to a 9 min mile.  going from 300 to 250.  losing weight really does help.
