Thanks for that. I lost 4 stone last year - mainly through
illness rather than trying to do so - and I've put some back
on. Oddly enough, I've felt less fit since I've lost weight,
but I'm sure this is down to less physical work. I enjoy
getting out walking, and since Epping Forest is on my
doorstep, I really have little excuse not to do so. I will
read this up and get to it. I'd like to run 5 miles without
feeling breathless and asthmatic.
Walking 6 miles and running 6 miles will burn more or less the same number
of calories - it's the amount of energy needed to move a certain weight a
certain distance - but running does it more quickly. I think it will give
your cardio system a lot more exercise though, which is more important than
mere weight loss. You get an endorphin high from the exercise and start a
positive feedback loop which encourages you to take more exercise still.
This makes you feel better about absolutely everything, as well as improving
your physical health.
I _think_ that moving the weight more quickly will use more energy.
Otherwise, why would your cv system need to work harder?
Epping Forest would be a great place to run, except perhaps in the dark with
no lights and all those highwaymen. It's probably not more than 10 miles
from here along the Lea Valley - we should meet up sometime.
