Greetings!

I would say: not just fast running but long running at a high heart rate is harmful. It’s not always the same.

As far as speed is concerned, it is composed of two parameters, namely a heart rate and duration of training load. The first one is the most important. A heart rate zone is individual and varies from person to person. For the first time, it can be good if your heart rate doesn’t exceed 145 beats per minute. It is very possible that a heart rate during trainings will decrease when a speed is constant.

Running and Weight Loss
Question:

Good day.

I'd like to know could I use running as a weight loss tool? I'm 182 sm tall and my weight is 98 kg but my goal weight is 80 kg.

There is belief, for instance, that weight loss is not good for power exercises as muscles grow slowly in case of lack of calories even if you eat enough protein.

  1. How does weight loss impact on running? Is it possible to both lose your weight and at the same time improve your running results?
  2. Does weight loss affect my running speed? It's easier for a light runner to run than a heavy runner, isn't it? So, it turns out that a light runner will always run faster than a heavy one, provided they have the same fitness level. Am I right?

FYI: I started running two years ago but I'm running slowly, this may be due to my weight. I run 10 km in 1:05 or within an hour sometimes.

Knees Rub Together When I run. Is That OK?
Question:

Good afternoon.

When I run, my leg moves along an arc-shape trajectory and my knees sometimes rub together.

Is that OK? How could I change it?
