Hi,

A little background. I'm 5'8" and weigh 137lbs. I've been training with weights for 6 or 7 years now. Then about three years ago I started running seriously to train for a marathon. Previously I had been doing runs of 1 to 2 miles a day. Now I'm up to 70 miles per week. I used to weigh close to 170 lbs, after training for my two marathons, I'm very lean and my bodyfat is hovers around 5% to 6%. I'm happy with the everything about my body except my abs. While I do have some definition, it seems (to me at least) that the areas to the left and right of the "six pack" seems to be too "wide", So I don't really have a v-shape. I'm beginning to think that maybe I've overdeveloped my abs. Should I cut back.

P.S. I would like a more defined six pack, but that has eluded me seemingly forever.
