    Think about olympic runners...do they seem bulky to you? Nope. Running does not make you bulky. It tones you and your legs will get stronger, but no. Running will not make you bulky. :) Enjoy your run! I :heart: RUNNING!

    You will gain muscle. You will burn fat as long as you keep your heart rate up for 10-30 minutes. After that it becomes Endurance not cardio, so yes you would gain more muscle mass.

    You won't get "bulky" as long as you thoroughly stretch. Your numbers on the scale might go up for a bit, but your body fat percentage (which is more accurate anyway) will go down.

    Depends on a lot of factors, but I doubt anyone would get particularly 'big' from running. Maybe if you're sprinting up stairs with a weight belt on or something :).
