Running can help you lose weight, but not in the way you think. <\/span><\/p>\n

IF you’re trying to lose weight then lacing up your trainers and heading out for a run is one of the best ways to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Running burns loads of calories, may actually help suppress your appetite and targets harmful belly fat.<\/p>\n

However, there are a few tweaks you can make to your runs to really unleash its full fat burning potential.<\/p>\n

In particular, mixing up your speed, cutting down your pre-training snacks and even resting more can all help you shed a few more pounds.<\/p>\n

Here, we take you through some simple ways you can become a fat burning machine when you’re out pounding the pavements…<\/p>\n

1. HIIT<\/h2>\n

Short explosive bursts of running at around 80 per cent of your maximum heart rate is guaranteed to make you instantly enter the ‘fat burning zone’.<\/p>\n

This is because, intense training activates fat burning genes while you work out, and increases your metabolism afterwards.<\/p>\n

You can try this in a simple 30 minute HIIT session by alternating between one minute sprints and four minutes of jogging in between.<\/p>\n

2. Add rest periods<\/h2>\n

You may think take a rest in the middle of your training run may seem counterproductive – but it turns out this could be the key to shedding a few extra pounds.<\/p>\n

Scientists from Japan asked two groups of participants to complete a one hour cardio workout, with one group exercising for the full 60 minutes while the others rested for 20 minutes halfway through.<\/p>\n

Despite exercising for less time, the second group actually burned more fat than the first.<\/p>\n

The experts behind the study claimed that the break in between the exercise sessions meant that fat metabolism was accelerated higher than it was through continuous exercise.<\/p>\n

3. Love the long run<\/h2>\n

Not every run needs to be all about channelling your inner Usain Bolt and going as fast as you can.<\/p>\n

While long, steady runs are key if you’re marathon training – they may also be the secret to blitzing excess body fat.<\/p>\n

In particular, running for over 30 minutes will significantly boost the rate at which you continue to burn fat when you have finished training.<\/p>\n\t\n \n
