Increase your intensity

?

One of the best ways to have better results while running is to push yourself a bit more. Challenge your body as often as possible. Effective changes cannot happen when your body gets used to a particular exercise. Monotony leads to stagnation. Try to increase your intensity and, over time, your body will adjust, making it easier for you to even run longer distances. Doing this will help you burn more calories and drop those unnecessary kilos in due time.

Include interval sessions

Intervals are variations of speed between your running programme, which help you burn more calories, boost your metabolism and increase your endurance level while improving your mental strength without exhausting yourself too much. A nice interval exercise can involve, walking, brisk walking, jogging and running.

You can start by walking for a few minutes just to warm up your muscles then increase your speed to a brisk walk to elevate your heart rate. Jog for about 10 minutes then finish with a nice intense run for about 60 seconds. This makes your muscles more alert as oxygen is fully used in the body, especially in the working muscles like legs, butt and abs, helping you burn more calories. Repeat the sequences throughout your programme and you will see the changes you want.

Add some mileage

If you want to challenge yourself with something new and have more results, consider increasing your running distance. Sticking to the same old routine will leave your body at its peak (plateau level) and no more changes will be visible. If you are used to running short distances, slowly increase and try longer ones. Not only will you shed more but also reach new fitness goals.

Appreciate your runs

Learn not to make your frequent runs a chore but think of it as a fun activity. If you think of it as a chore, with time you might find it hard, boring or tiresome therefore killing your moral in the process. Thinking of it as a fun activity makes you appreciate it more, especially if you start noticing or achieving your already set goals.

Check what you eat

You can run all you want, increase your intensity but you won’t lose anything if you don’t stick to a healthy diet. Just because you love and appreciate running doesn’t mean you can eat whatever you want. Go for healthy choices and avoid fast foods at all costs. Add more greens to your eating plans. This will boost your fibre intake, which improves your digestive health making it easier for you to drop unwanted kilos.
