- To lose fat you need to run at least more than 20 minutes. The body, in your first minutes of running, will use the carbs to obtain energy because is the easiest way for the body to produce energy. Second, the body uses the fats to get energy. to be sure that your body use the fats to get energy you need to run longer. Running faster depend of your physical condition.
- To lose fat you will need to run longer not faster. If you run fast you will not be able to run long enough to lose any fat.
- Running distance. When you start running, your body initially use glucose for metabolism. There are plenty of glucose stored in your body, especially in your live. It will take about 10-15 minutes of running for you to burn off those glucose. After that, your body switch to fat metabolism for most part (except brain and heart), and that is when the runners burn off the fat. As a result, distance runners tend to have lower body fat and lower triglyceride level. So, if you want to lose body fat, run distance. The longer, the better. Running fast only help you bulk up the muscle.
- yeah.. just running distance but moderate intensity!!! one way to check is to be a ble to keep up a conversation without much problem.. Breath hard but not pant..
- The best way to burn fat while running is to make a change to your diet. Keep a log on what you eat and how much. Based on the calorie total, you can figure how much exercise you need to burn off those calories. Since you are already on a fixed schedule for your XC team, changing the workouts poses more of a problem. Take a look at what you can substitute in your diet with healthier, more running friendly foods, and that will help you trim more calories and make you a more efficient and faster runner.
