Before you know it, you are running a 5k! But a lot of runners have a hard time making improvements after they have become comfortable with 2-3 mile runs. You want to continue to build your endurance and run a little further or longer. Maybe you even want to run a 10 miler or half marathon, but itâs daunting.
Races run at 100 percent of your maximum effort accomplish this goal quite well, as do sprints or maximum-weight lifts in the gym. Make sure you run at least one hard workout per week, and race regularly. A favorite to burn a lot of calories is to run a Warrior Dash. The combination of running and obstacles keeps your heart rate high and boosts the amount of energy you continue to burn after you finish.
