If you're big on distance running it would make sense for you to reduce your mass. Even if you didn't try to do so it would eventually happen, as the body uses both fat and muscle for fuel in a long distance run. There's an interesting side effect to this though, long distance running actually lowers your metabolism (the body attempts to minimize fuel consumption while maximizing gain from said consumption). This is why long distance runners tend to put on weight fast when they aren't running even if they maintain a similar "healthy" diet.
