I just want to be able to eat like a fatass and not be fat, if I go off of my healthy diet but continue to increase the distance I run will I be able to maintain my current weight? Or am I chasing a dream?

Just my personal experience, but I ran 50 miles a week at 6-8 minute pace and basically ate anything I wanted and was a fucking skelly, so if you run frequently and hard enough you can eat whatever and not be fat. At least I think.

hope your knees last for you user, you might want to shed a few lbs still.

This is something I worry about. I don't ever get knee pain after/during running but after a set of squats or something similar I will occasionally get a deep dull throbbing deep within my knees. It normally only lasts maybe an hour or so after the workout.

it really depends on how much u eat buddy.
Even if you burned 8000 calories you could still gain weight that day if you ate 9000 calories.

if you consistently eat more calories than you burn then you will get fat.

In my experience tho if you exercise a lot it can be quite hard to eat the amount needed to get large amounts of fat on ur body

Ran half a marathon to 30km a day during this summer, maintenance cals were around 6000, you can do it but it takes lots of time and motivation/mental disorder

Just make sure you don't heelstike and you will be fine

Even at the height of my fatness I would "only" eat around 4-5000 calories a day. Granted that was when I did zero physical activity.

I dont heel strike, something ive noticed is that I have much less issues with my feet hurting when I land on my forefoot than I do with my heels. This is something I discovered very early on during running.

210 and 6'2" isn't really "fat" as far as most people are concerned. I'm 200 and 6"1 and I am trained for a marathon, so I run 20 miles once a week, with a weekly total of around 50-60 miles at around 8 minute pace for my non-long runs. It's a shitload of time and my whole life revolves around my running schedule.
That being said, it's a LOT easier to control my appetite when I'm not deep into my training. Running 50+ miles per week just ruins my hunger cues, I'm always hungry all the time and it's hard AF to continue to lose weight since all I ever want to do is eat constantly. When I was only running 20 miles a week it was a lot easier to control my appetite.
As far as joint pain, I bought a few pairs of good running shoes which I cycle through during the week and I don't have any pain, I used to have knee pains when I was fat but that all went away once I got into the higher mileage.
