You Asked: Is It Harmful to Run Every Day?

Dear Fit,
I’m trying to lose my last stubborn 10 pounds, and my regular workouts of running three days a week for 30 minutes just weren’t doing the trick. So I decided to kick it up a notch and run every day. Now the scale is starting to budge slightly, which I’m happy about, but I’m wondering if it’s bad for my body to run every single day with no days of rest?

The 15 Second Drill is one of my favorite workouts. It burns fat, builds speed and endurance. This treadmill workout keeps you on your toes since it requires you to take action every 15 seconds. You can’t fall into the “treadmill trance” as I call it.

So you can see one of the workouts I use to burn fat running.

I have been running on a treadmill regularly over the last 6 months and it has made a big difference in my weight loss and fat burning. It has increased speed, endurance and overall runnning fitness.

I do several types of workouts to keep the staleness from taking hold which can happen often when running on a treadmill. Over the next few posts I will be sharing some of those workouts.

So I ask you try some of these fat burning treadmill running workouts and share your experience.

You know what really pisses me off ?

Ok, well, I will tell you anyway. What really pisses me off are those jerk offs who sit around the bar or fitness center making fun of fat people. These dorks will moan and groan about fat people eating fast food or candy, but in the same breath will still ridicule those same fat people when they try and turn the tide, lose weight and live healthier.

Ask yourself this the next time you see a fat runner. Do I have the same determination? What is his or her story? What am I doing to improve myself?

It is encouraging to me to see these lucky few that really get it out on the roads and tracks running. More power to them and screw the frat boy and stuck up cheer leader mentality.

Lets bring it on, live healthy and be proud of being the average Joe, although a little overweight, who loves to run.

So what is the problem with fat running?

Not a damn thing!

I was reading in a forum the other day, how a guy did not want to start running because he felt people would laugh at him.

Hey dude, in our image fetished world, people are already making fun of you if your fat!

SCREW THEM! Little skinny terds, don’t let them bother you. Fat running people have just as much right to exercise. Making fun of someone because they are overweight, then making fun of them because they are trying to do something about it, just shows how moronic the human race can be.

Now, before I go on, don’t ask me for the forum, I can’t remember and I am bad about saving things in my favorites.

Anyway fat running people should not worry about what other people think. You should be running for you and your family. You should be running for your health and fitness.

Fat running people rock!

Here’s how to go about running and walking to burn fat fast. Listen, most people are making mistakes that are wasting their time and DRAMATICALLY hurting their results. Read this now so you won’t be 1 of those people.

Running and Walking to Burn Fat

1. Don’t run at the same speed

This is called “steady-state” cardio. It’s NO GOOD. If you’re going to run to burn fat, then you need to do sprints. The problem is, if you’re overweight, sprints are pretty hard to do. They aren’t easy on the body because they’re really intense.

The solution is to run as hard as you can for just 5-10 seconds and follow that by walking for 45 seconds. Keep repeating that for a total of 10 minutes.

By doing your runs like this, you create something called an “afterburn”. This describes how your body burns fast at a higher rate for hours and hours after you’re done exercising. This doesn’t happen when you run or jog at the same speed.

2. Incline walking

Plain walking isn’t enough for fat loss… I should say fast fat loss. Face it, your body is use to normal walking. It needs something extra to force it to burn off fat.

That “extra” is walking on an incline or a hill. I prefer that you use a treadmill that inclines. There’s nothing to it. Set the treadmill to an incline that’s equal to about 15 degrees and walk for 20-25 minutes. If you did this 4 days a week, your body has very little choice but to burn off fat.

Follow these tips and your running and walking to burn fat will be easier and quicker.

If you’re SICK and TIRED of getting the same old boring weight loss advice… you know, like “Eat more fruits and vegetables, drink 8 glasses of water, jog, and Blah Blah Blah”, then…

In a previous article we talked about the best type of interval training for burning fat. Today we’re going to discuss the best type of interval training to improve your running performance.

Specificity, specificity, specificity!

The key to achieving the best running results from your interval training workouts is to set-up your training runs so that they closely match the energy demands of your actual race pace.

For instance, running a 5k can be very demanding if you give it your all. The 5k is usually run at a pace that is close to 80-85% of your maximum heart rate. As such, this type of run can lead to build up a lactic acid and fatigue fairly quickly, especially if you aren’t prepared properly.

Most advanced 5k runners can run a 5k in anywhere from 15 to 18 minutes. Believe me, that’s very fast! That means that over a 5k distance, their pace would equate to 3 to 3.5 minutes/km.

So if you take an average pace of 3.5 minutes/km that means that means that you’d have train at that pace (or faster) to best prepare yourself for the energy demands of that run.

For obvious reasons, this may be tough for many intermediate 5k runners at first, but the good news is that with proper training one can achieve such goals. If you’re not used to running a 3.5 minute/km then it will be very tough to maintain that pace for longer than a minutes at most – at least initially.

So instead of going all out and hitting the wall, you can break up your training runs into intervals that mimic your goal pace while allowing yourself to recover in between.

If you want to run your 5k in 18 minutes then you could train using the following interval training workouts 3-4 times per week:

WORKOUT #1

Warm-up:
5 minutes (talk test pace)

Interval Training Workout:
2 minutes at 5k pace (ie. 3.5 minutes/km) : 1 minute recovery jog
Repeat for a total of 9 intervals or 27 minutes.

Running this workout for 27 minutes would mean that you would be at your 5k race pace for the desired 18 minutes (because we’ve broken it up with recovery bouts).

Once you’ve followed this interval training workout for 2-3 weeks you should be ready to move onto the following (more challenging) interval training run that will get you ready for your 5k race.

WORKOUT #2

Warm-up:
5 minutes (talk test pace)

Interval Training Workout:
3 minutes at 110% of 5k pace (ie. 3 minutes/km) : 30 second recovery jog
Repeat this interval 6 times for a total of 21 minutes

This second workout more closely resembles your desired 5k race pace because your running faster than you would in the race and you give your body less time to recover.
After all, when do you get to recover in an actual 5k race? Never! Furthermore, you’re also maintaining this pace of longer than the previous workout (3 vs. 2 minutes).

The goal with these workouts is to get your body (cardiovascular system and legs, specifically) accustomed to running at or faster than your race pace for longer periods of time while allowing less recovery over time. As a result, you will be ready to run your 5k race and find it easier to run compared to your interval training runs!

And who doesn’t like that?

Give these a shot and enjoy.
