How many lbs can u expect 2 lose on 1 sweat run? Would much appreaciate as much facts/opinion on them?
Hi njackets.
Speaking of which, I just got back from a shirt-soaking run and I'm now feeling happy enough to shed some of it here. :)
I just went for a 3.5 mile run which took me 26 minutes. My time wasn't bad considering that much of it was cross country and over a lot of hills. The biggest thing for me was my heart rate for the most part after the first mile hovered just below 175, topping out at 186 (which left me feeling like I got nailed in the stomach). :-X
I believe it's about pushing your heart rate up to higher levels that really gets the sweat glands pumpings, that's why you're more apt to break a sweat after running a fast clip more than you would during a long and slow jog.
It's even easier to break a sweat when you are running in the early afternoon because of the heat, and even more so if you're living in a humid-ball-sweaty place such as the Philippines or Florida.
Some guys opt for a sauna suit which is basically plastic pajamas that cause the average dude to sweat more than a plumber's asscrack in hell. The idea is that besides getting you to expell every ounce of water in your body, it will also allow you to burn more calories of fat as an effect of making your body warmer.
I wouldn't recommend that unless what you need calls for drastic measures. I'd say that your money would be better spent in a heart rate monitor and finding someone that can teach you how to run fast and injury free.
Also don't run early on the morning on an empty stomach, after several hours without food, your body is in catabolic (eats itself) mode if it doesn't have any other fuel to go by. Usually you want to avoid a lot og salt in your diet by staying away from food and softdrinks that are loaded with sodium. Warming up before your run is important and helps get a good sweat going, and even more important is learning how to run properly.
Once you can run alright, there's a lot of different programs that are worth doing.
Good stuff Chris ! ! ! !
Thanks 4 your help mate! Haven't got a problem with running mate,im actually a fitness instructer in the Army,so im not that clueless! Im not sure thats the correct tequnique,everyone iv'e ever known do a sweat run has kept the pace low,keeping the heart rate at the same sort of level and has gone out 4 at least 40mins,1st thing in the morning,anyone else got anything else?
Chris thats superb advice
One little point,Your Metobalisam takes four hours after you have woken up to reach its optimun level for working at extremes.
I've long been a practicioner of early morning runs.
If you do use these, I'd reccomend a little whey protein or even creatine is used as those runs can wear you down and result in strains and injuries.
In order to get a really good sweat up try warming up with a couple of minutes sprint skipping to get the heart rate up.
