Interval Running: Burn Fat and Boost Performance

You can start burning fat without burning glycogen by incorporating interval running into your routine. Interval running involves alternating between a light jog and a sprint, with the sprint being at maximum speed. For example, start by sprinting at maximum speed until you start to feel out of breath. Then slow down and walk 100 meters to allow your body to recover. Afterwards, start a light jog and repeat the cycle of sprinting and walking. For instance, you can do 200 meters of light jog, followed by 100 meters of sprint, and then 100 meters of walking. For more advanced individuals, you can increase the distance for the sprint. In just 15-20 minutes of interval running, you can burn as much fat as you would in a regular light jog for two hours. Additionally, interval running provides a greater challenge to your muscles, making them stronger. In conclusion, interval running saves you time and delivers far better results than a monotonous long run.

The Most Effective Way to Burn Fat

When running at an easy pace for a short amount of time, the body hardly burns any fat. This is because during a slow jog, the body gets its energy from glycogen. Only after approximately an hour of running, when energy can no longer be taken from glycogen, does fat burning begin. Of course, if you run faster, glycogen will be burned faster and fat burning will start earlier. However, running for over an hour is not the most effective way to lose weight. At a moderate pace (9-12 km/h) that lasts for more than an hour, fat burning rate is not the highest. Furthermore, after glycogen stores are depleted, the body not only uses fat for energy but also starts breaking down muscle protein. So, if the goal is to burn fat while preserving muscle, long-distance running is far from the most efficient option.

The Importance of Taking Breaks and Slowing Down

Taking breaks and slowing down is normal. Rushing doesn't guarantee success. It causes you to lose control over the situation! 'I can't keep up! It's all gone!' These are the thoughts that race through our minds when deadlines approach. We worry, we get nervous, and when 'that day' arrives, the result of our work is far from satisfying. And all because our brain, in a state of anxious rush, cannot work at full capacity. Conclusion: slow down, take a break.
