MARATHON WEIGHT GAIN
Many women take up running to lose weight and, for most of us, it works in the beginning. Running is one of the best ways to boost weight loss – it can burn anywhere from 10 to 15 calories per minute, depending on your age, weight, fitness level and how fast and how long you run. As a new runner, you’re creating a different stimulus to which your body must adapt, so the body finds it challenging at first, resulting in more energy expenditure. However, once your body gets used to it, weight loss can plateau, especially if you stick to the same type of runs.
You might think that running longer distances like a marathon is the best way to keep losing weight. But simply clocking up more miles is not the answer and if you think that doing a marathon is an invitation to eat what you want, then you may be in for a shock!
