    It's possible with running long distances every day.

    Define "long distances". I ran 9.5 miles today. Is that "long"? How much do you expect this distance runner to eat after running those distances because I'm pretty hungry. 1200 calories isn't going to do it for me today and I'm a pretty small female approaching 50.

    Trust me, I'm not going to be losing 2 pounds per week with a body fat percentage hovering around 25%. At least, not in a way that I'd consider healthy and sustainable.

    This. Running long distances daily and calorie deficits don't mix - thus, 2lbs a week is ridiculous.
