Losing Weight and Marathon Training

Article Category: Wellness, Fitness and Diet

Author Name: James Spann

A high number of individuals have publicized that they already lost a significant amount of weight during marathon training. The reason for this is that it requires the individual to run a minimum of four times a week for a period of six months of more. The marathon training requires a weekly total of around 25 miles for the same six month period even for a beginner program. This implies a significant weight loss since the individual is exercising numerous times a week, which burns a lot of calories.

It is true that marathon training will burn a lot of calories, unfortunately the individual will also need to eat a lot of carbohydrates in order to stay healthy. The purpose of regularly eating a higher amount of carbohydrates is that it is used to fuel the training runs. But the amount of carbohydrates can eventually be reduced to start burning calories and stocked body fat in order to commence the weight loss.

Potential Problems

The main limitation of marathon training for a weight loss goal is that the body will become increasingly efficient at burning calories. The individual will then be able to efficiently burn calories with regular exercise even with a lower food intake. This means that the individual will need to eat less and also count calories so that a lower weight is still achieved.

An alternative training program for the weight loss problem is by doing interval training or speed work. The problem is that distance runners have a tendency to use slow-twitch muscles, which require less energy due to a lower intensity workout. Therefore, the best alternative is to intensify the training by sprinting instead of the regular running speed. This fast-twitch technique enhances the weight loss since different muscles are used, which burns more energy. This means that in order to lose weight, individuals will need to run faster with a shorter running distance rather than do a full or half marathon.

Lower distance Races

Endurance races such as full marathons mitigate weight loss goals since the body will become more efficient with a lower number of calories. Marathon trainers instead encourage individuals to go for a shorter running distance such as 3 or 5 KM. The advantage of a more intense training is that the individual will burn a higher amount of energy and calories at a shorter period of time resulting in a more effective weight loss.

Nutrition and the Food Pyramid

Even if the individual increases the amount of exercise done during the week, the food consumed must also be controlled. It is recommended by doctors and nutritionists that individuals with a weight loss program needs to eat a wide variety of food choices from the four basic food groups. The highest amount of food consumed must come from carbohydrates, which include bread, cereals, and pasta. The foods that an individual is permitted to eat only a limited amount of are those with a high amount of fats and sweets such as cakes and pastries.
