When running for the purpose of losing weight and keeping fit, the time should not be less than 20 minutes each time, and the speed should be slow to maintain even breathing. A 20-minute slow long-distance run can not only deplete a large amount of glycogen in the body, but also mobilize the body's fat. And because slow long-distance running is not very intense and will not cause the body to be overly hypoxic, it helps to consume fat and thus achieve the goal of losing weight.

Morning jogging increases the possibility of blood clots forming in blood vessels, which can easily lead to vascular embolism because the blood's cohesion increases by 6%. Running at night has the opposite effect: the number of platelets decreases by 20%, greatly reducing the risk of vascular embolism.
