How long is the best time to run?

With the popularity of the concept of night running, more and more people have joined the ranks of running. Many ordinary people have also begun to slowly challenge marathon competitions. They exercise their will through running and enhance their physical fitness through the sport of running. But in fact, the benefits of running are far more than that. It can also help to lose weight. So how long is the best time to run?

How long does it take to lose weight by running?

Many people think that the body starts to consume fat to produce energy only after running for 20 or 30 minutes. But in fact, which type of "fuel" the body chooses to consume is not determined by exercise time, but by exercise intensity, that is, the speed of running.

At low speeds, the body burns fat; at high speeds, it burns sugar. Therefore, if you run too fast, your body will only use sugar and will not lose weight; but if you run too slowly, although you can continue to consume fat, unfortunately the speed is limited. I am afraid that even if you run for a long time, you will not get obvious weight loss effects.

Tips for running to lose weight

1. Warm-up exercises

I believe that warming up before exercise is something that no longer needs to be popularized. The warm-up before running mainly involves stretching exercises for the legs. Only when the calves are fully warmed up and stretched properly can they be put into "battle" in the "best condition". In this way, within the appropriate time frame, the excess calories in your body can be fully burned without making your calves thicker.

2. Run against the flow of traffic

It is difficult to find open space for running in big cities, so night runners like to run along the roads. But with vehicles passing by on the road, running on the road is somewhat unsafe. For safety reasons, it is recommended to avoid peak traffic hours when running. In addition, the running direction is opposite to the direction of traffic, so people in the cars can see the runner clearly.

The above article introduces some running tips. In fact, the longer you run, the better. You can set a goal based on your physical fitness and health status, such as running five or ten kilometers a day, and then complete it according to this goal. Keep running every day. As you practice running, the time will go faster and faster. In sports, you compete with yourself, not with others.
