Default Re: Running and diet

I had a car crash years ago and hurt my back. When I went back to work I could barely run a mile. I now run about 10 for a fat burn with the dogs. For weight loss you need to be running for at least 45 mins for a fat burn with about a 60% heart rate. If you don't have a heart rate monitor watch, you should be able to hold a conversation whilst running otherwise your training your heart and lungs instead.

Just build up your runs by a further .5 of a km at a time. Make sure you stretch afterwards too if you don't you will feel stiff and crap for a week.
