NSV
When I started my new lifestyle this year one of my motivations was to be a good role model to my children especially as my 8 year old daughter was starting to get a little chubby.

fat burning running pace
i came across an article today about how running at a slow pace is the best thing for fat loss as it accesses and burns the fat cells rather than the glycogen /carb cells - does anyone know anymore on this -does it mean its better to just increase my distance running at a slow speed rather than trying to increase the…
