>>78287702>youd have to run hours every week.To put this into a stronger contrast: If you eat more than 2200 calories a day you'll have to run a marathon EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. to lose weight.
If you boil it down to quintessentials the purpose of the human body is to run. We're V-E-R-Y efficient at running and in an aging but healthy body it's the absolutely last thing to go compared to, say, aiming, sprinting or catching which are dulled in your late 20s already.
Basically. No. Running is good for staying healthy. It's abhorrent for weight loss.
Run after you've lifted to sluice out reserves but don't rely on it exclusively.
