  • It depends on how long and hard your running but if your weekly total is 2 hours at low intensity that won't actually burn enough calories for significant weight loss

    Not sure I agree with this. Plenty of people lose lots of weight with this activity level if they are backing it up with dietary changes.

    According to Garmin Insights, running 2 hours per week puts you in the top 20% of Garmin users in terms of running duration. Three hours per week puts you in top 10%

    @dubkev sometimes I find my metabolism gets stuck in a bit of a rut and I need to shake things up with a type or intensity of exercise I'm not used to. Have you considered doing some strength training? Works wonders alongside cardio for fat loss.

  • Yeah your right but i did say straight after that quote even if you think your eating the same even a couple of hundred calories extra will offset what your burning. You'll build fitness but won't lose weight. Unless someone if really counting their calories a couple of hundred can sneak in pretty easily.

    Fair, point. Missed that.

    I do remember that when I was a young whippersnapper with a young whippersnapper metabolism I'd lose a fair whack of weight just by thinking about going for a run even if I was still overeating. Not so much now in my very late thirties.
