Is it effective to run the same distance (10 km, for instance) every time at the same speed or should I increase the intensity of training? My goal is to lose weight and stay healthy.

Good afternoon,
In terms of energy consumption the duration of running is important. Too short runs don't help you to burn fats as metabolism of fats starts when the glycogen stores are depleted but it takes some time.
If we consider your case and 10 km running these goals are easy to achieve. So, if you don't want to increase your running distance, don't do it. It's more important to keep stable training frequency (but at least 2 trainings a week). In this case, I think, the goals you set - to lose weight and stay healthy - will almost certainly be achieved.
A month ago I usually ran 10-15 km during trainings at average pace (5:10) with average heart rate (145 bpm).
Then I had two weeks break.
I returned to trainings and now I can maintain previous average pace with heart rate of 154 bpm.
How could it be that I lost my fitness shape or running technique so fast? I can't understand my body.
Good afternoon.
Which type of running is more suitable for weight loss: interval or jogging? How often can I do interval run?
Good afternoon.
I'd like to know should I do a warm-up before the start of competition and which exercises should be done?
Is it worth training a day before a competition or having a rest day?
Good afternoon, Oleg.
My name is Eldar, I'm in Turkey now.
I started running a month and a half ago and I'm good at it: I run 10 km in 37 minutes.
I've registered for the Istanbul marathon for 10 km.
I run 10 km 2 times a day, in morning and evening. Should I limit the frequency and long of training before the soon start of the marathon?
I'm a novice runner. This year in May I ran 10 km (time was 1:10) and finished my first half-marathon in Sochi in 2:16. How to improve my results?
