How to Use Running for Weight Loss

8/29/2020

​The goal of this article is to provide a general idea of how losing weight works and to give you simple instructions to adhere to if you want to follow that path.
 
The first step to losing weight is to understand what calories are and how they correlate to us gaining or losing weight.

​Calories are essentially energy, and once we consume calories (through foods or liquids) those calories will fuel our body to perform its basic bodily functions like digestion and thermal regulation, as well as our daily routines such as working and exercising.
 
To perform all of these actions our body needs fuel, that’s why we become hungry. HOWEVER, if you give your body too much fuel (too many calories) your body will store the extra energy to be used at a later time. This energy storage creates a buildup of adipose tissue which is otherwise known as fat!

I Almost Quit Running (Again)

Then I Learnt This Powerful Trick to Keep Going.
​Running, ‘It’s just not for me’ says everyone at some point in time. If you’re me, then you’ve said this countless times. This was frustrating as I’ve always been a runner of sorts. I did cross-country with primary and secondary school, was always running around playing rugby, basketball, and/or football (soccer). I was a sprinter in high school and made the athletics team in each of my five years there. Without tooting my own horn too much, I just excelled in sports. I was always moving, which is why I just couldn’t understand why in my adult years, I could NEVER hack running. Granted, I was a lot fitter then, and admittedly I let myself go during my university years with a diet of booze and take out food at all hours of the day.

FIND YOUR RUNNING MANTRA

11/2/2019

Running is as much psychological as it is physical. Picture this: you’re out on a run, one of those tough runs where you feel like everything is working against you. Suddenly, you start to doubt yourself and before you know it, you’re slowing down to a walk! A mantra is usually a single word or a short phrase that has personal meaning and through repetition can lift your spirits when you need it most.

The goal behind using a mantra in a run varies. If you struggle with knowing that you’ve still got a lot of miles ahead of you then you might benefit from a mantra that keeps you grounded and in the moment. If you struggle from negative self-talk, then positive self-reassurance might help!
