Height, weight & PRs?

any other giants on here? I've been wondering recently if I'm out of my mind trying to run long distances.
I'm 6'4", 212 pounds ~8.5% body fat or less. (pinched under 8% when I was around 208lbs)
5K: 20:31
10K.:45:48
15K:1:09:48
1/2: 1:40:25
25K:1:57:57
Full: Coming this October

I'm 5'7". My marathon PR is 3:41, I was 148. My worst was 4:45 at 162.
Half PR is 1:43 at 148 lbs, worst is 1:59 at 165
So, yeah, for me weight plays a definite role in slowing me down.0 -
You guys are all so speedy!
I'm 5'-6 1/2", 130-135 lbs depending on the day. I was 125 last summer, but have been slacking on the whole eating healthy thing lately...definitely need to get back on track.
5K: 23:50 (which isn't really that accurate because I swear the course was short. My phone (didn't have a garmin at the time) clocked it at 2.95 miles, so it probably would've been at least another minute on top of this had it been right)
10K: 51:25
Half: 1:56:35 (at my lowest weight)
Full: 4:18:17
50K: 6:30:00 (on trails)
I definitely do think my speed has been effected by the fact that I've gained some weight back. Right now, I'm just doing a lot of races "for fun" (because I'm doing one every several weeks), so I haven't had that extra motivation to get back on track. But next year I want to try and BQ, so I know I'm going to need to lose more. I'd love to get to around 120 if possible. I know it'll take some work though (but so will trying to BQ!!!).
Edit to add - I'm a 26 year old female, running for 2 years.0
