4 Key Strategies for Running to Lose Weight
As one of the most active exercises out there, running is an extremely efficient way to burn calories and lose weight. A 150-pound person will burn approximately 100 calories per mile when running. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
①Healthy Eating is the First Step
If you want to lose weight by running, keep in mind that you'll only lose pounds if you burn more calories than you consume. To lose a pound, you have to burn, through exercise or life functions, about 3500 calories. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Runners do have special nutrition needs, but the basic principles for healthy eating still apply. Try choosing smaller portions of high-fat and high-calorie foods and eating more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
②Follow a training schedule
Sticking to a training schedule is a simple way to stay motivated to run. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} So it's much harder to postpone or skip workouts. Following a schedule can also help you avoid a running injury by not increasing your mileage too quickly.
③Run regularly
If you don't want to follow a schedule, you still need to have some consistency with your running because you won't lose weight by running once a week. It's best to get some activity every day. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} If you find that your motivation to run is suffering, follow some necessary tips to get inspired.
④{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Incorporating speed work or interval training (running at a very fast speed for short intervals of time) into your running routine can also help your weight loss efforts. Speed work burns a great amount of calories in a short period of time. You'll also increase your muscle mass, causing you to burn more calories throughout the day.
