I've been wondering about this whole strength to weight ratio thing. A couple of years ago I got serious about dropping some weight. I've lost 45 pounds but find that the same people that dropped me a couple of years ago are still dropping me now! I thought that I'd see huge improvements in my cycling but I haven't. I'm really pretty bummed about this. Even my running hasn't improved that much. I ran a 10K yesterday and only took off about a minute and a half off of my previous 10K.

What gives?
