Does running early in the morning before eating breakfast burn more calories? I have heard that it burns 3x more calories because you have an empty stomach. I aint really technichal lol.

Thanks

Does no-one know?

Yes

some expert say it better to run after you take you breakfast because you body will eat up your muscle if you do so

here some experts view:

i don't know of anything that can substantiate that, the only reason i run in the mornings are 1) its easier to breathe, i think due to the damp air caused by lack of sun and 2) its when i have the time.

actually, its impossible to lose 3x as opposed to normal running hours - they probably mean that right after that have a pretty healthy breakfast and it fukken kicks off your metabloism like a mfer.

i heard a nutritionist who said something similar, although 3 times sounds massively exxagurated. What he said was the best way use running to lose weight is to run first thing in the morning before uve eaten anything (drink some water before u go) and then wait at least half an hour once u get back before u eat anything.

Thanks for the article baya. :)

I read it on a website a couple of months ago and they said something like 3x times but i dont know how reliable the site is thats why im asking here.

There's different views on this. Some say it burns directly from fat and others say since there's no glycogen, it eats up muscle.

The best thing to do is run on an empty stomach then IMMEDIATELY have a quick fast digesting carb (best is bananas) so you refill the glycogen storage.

shit, i just finsihed reading a book by teddy atlas, the reason why he says he makes fighters run in the morning is because its somethign that you dont want to do, it teaches discipline and dedication

Is this a fairly new book? Would i be able to buy it in a bookshop or will it be out of print?

i hate running on an empty stomach in the morning, i have no energy, i feel weak, and my stamina is way down. i think it's better to have a small meal and allow your body to wake up and re energize so you can have a better quality of roadwork.

It's new. So you'll be able to buy it out of a bookstore.

Thanks mate. I'll try and pick it up today.

Does anyone recall a member here who claimed to have read Cus' personal diary? He would post some of his journals here. The journals were very interesting and entertaining..

it doesnt burn more calories because a calorie cant tell what time of day it is. what running on a empty stomach does is creates a calorie defecit for the day - i would have a drink so that you can maintain a decent run.

i don't know how people do it. eat while running or biking, i see it all the time.

i'm 0 for 2 on that, BOTH times i've yacked.

lol weak stomach? lol only jokin

maybe - but i think that its more like i'm so concentrated on my running and breathing that trying to involve something else just ****s me all up.

i find it very hard to run on an empty stomach when i get up. i usually like to occupy the stomach by eating something light first then giving it a half and hour before running. I get so ****in hungry in the morning and without something to start off the day i feel shithouse!

Who wants to run on a full stomach? Run before breakfast.....
