Yes, absolutely 👍

[Feltip Graduate]

Sexy runs, I like that 😍😁

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Feltip]

Haha 😁

A great read, thanks for the share Instructor57 but - ugh, I recoiled at ‘sexy run’! 🥴🇺🇸😆

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to acountrycabbage]

Haha 😂😂😂

[acountrycabbage Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

At least she’d make a great motivational coach for me - all she’d need to do is say ‘run sexy’ and I’d bolt in the opposite direction! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️💨 😁

Sounds like witchcraft to me

Voodoo 😱

Good evening!

Oh that is very interesting, thank you.

Slow is good!

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to 9weeks2Run]

Absolutely, 😁👍

Interesting article! So, I run at a 'sexy pace' nearly all the time then, so will stop referring to it as snail's pace now! 😂 Seriously though, I know this works as my shorter runs are now a little bit, but naturally, faster.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Yes, sexy running is the way to go 😂

But yes, it is noticeable after a while

[Elfe5 Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Yes, me too! 😄 Although the slow pace calculator made me realise that my slow pace was probably not quite slow enough & made me feel psychologically better about being even slower instead of thinking “this is ridiculous”. 😄

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

Yes, it's good to know 😁👍

I want to do this but I find it hard. OK for a while then drift back to my natural pace.... and it makes my legs ache. I can never work out whether to take same number of steps but shorter or slow the whole action down like slow motion!!

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Maz1103]

Yes, I agree , it's not easy !

Shorter steps seems to be the way but even that I find reverts back to what feels natural

[Maz1103 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Did a slow run today.. Kept pace to 7'57 average for 30 minutes (3.9k). Like we said was hard to do but felt very fresh after so assume it was successful 😁

[Frizzbomb67 Graduate]

Great read. It explains it well although it seems counterintuitive.

It’s a shame eating more doesn’t make you lose weight faster 😂

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Frizzbomb67]

Haha, I've tried and can assure you it dosent 😂😂😂

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Frizzbomb67]

I thought if I'm running I can eat what I want !

Soon discovered that's not true 😂

[Maz1103 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Me too!!!

[Elfe5 Graduate]

Great article thanks - music to my 🐌 ears! 😂

I especially love the fat burn bit!! I am in that frustrating place of having lost most of the weight I need to shed, but will those last few pounds come off?? 🙄

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

I know what you mean 😐
