Calorie burn??

rsjohnb

Hi does anyone know the awnsers to these questions.

1) If I go for a run will be burning more calories towards the end of the run when my body is struggling then I will in the middle of the run?

2) if so would I burn more calories in one 50 minute run than I would in two 25 minute runs?? so five 25 minute runs versus two or three 50 minute runs spaced over the week.

I unfortunately have a natural aversion to exercise so i'm trying to find the most effective shortest way of getting the burn. this is the crap I think about when im bored out of my mind on the tread mill.

thanks for the info.

If calories expended is the only concern I don't think there would be a noticeable difference between 1 x 50 or 2 x 25. (in terms of gaining endurance there would be)

If going with the shorter runs means you actually do them then it's the obvious choice.

Having said that, if you hate running on the treadmill you may want to consider other options (I hate the dreadmill too but love running). Are there other activities / sports that you would enjoy more?

My sport is squash (not that i'm any good) because it holds my interest after that I only use exercise for trying to get rid of the fat and I think that running is best for that.

thanks for the advise tho much appreciated.

Diet is actually the most efficient way of getting rid of the fat. Exercise is an extremely inefficient way of building a big enough calorie deficit on a consistent basis for consistent and sustained weight loss. Diet for weight control; exercise for fitness.
