Is running a good way to lose weight?
No. Running is an excellent part of an overall health and fitness regime. Healthy and fit people are their right weight. People who want to be healthy and fit will arrive at the right weight over time. (How long is different for each person.) Believe it or not, there are still people who believe that you can sweat off those extra pounds. All you sweat is water and salts, both of which you need to be a healthy, functioning human. If weight control/loss is part of your running ambition, measuring progress on a monthly basis will give you the most accurate picture. Jumping on a scale before and after a run simply tells you how much you were sweating, and if you’ve lost too much water, you’re probably going to get sick.
