More likely, the runner will get his same amount of calories but he will feel sluggish and may not be able to perform well. A case in point is a piece of cake that has an equal amount of calories as a turkey sandwich on multi-grain bread. Eating the cake will give him enough calories. However, the sugar in it will trigger the insulin response from his body, which can make him sluggish and less energized. Although split shorts are typically short in length, they provide runners with unobstructed and easy stride. 2. Shirt. Gone are the days of cotton shirts. Shirts with wicking quality, usually made of polyester, are the best choice for running. These types of shirt absorb sweat from the body and keep the temperature low. That, however, is negated by recent researches. According to studies, intense running in fact burns more calories. But because it is likely to be more injurious, intense running is best done for shorter periods and should be scheduled, at the most, twice a week. 6. Running program needs to be modified to achieve the desired weight. Some weight loss systems would recommend or mandate taking in diet pills or a weight loss supplement to suppress appetite. As mentioned, on top of the drugs, there would also be recommended exercises to be executed regularly, plus nutritional or diet plans. If you are taking a weight loss system, it would be important to abide by the recommendations. Injuries are inevitable especially when a person is too pressured to accelerate the manifestations of ideal physical training and weight loss results. Some people make the mistake of putting the body into too much physical activity in the hope that doing so would boost physical stamina, strength, and overall physique. Shorts or pants, shirts in short and long sleeves and with the right thickness should be carefully matched for each season that the runner intends to run. Clothes which can wick moisture away from the runner s skin can help keep the runner cool and dry. Additional gears Other pieces of clothing that a runner may bring along include such things as hats and raingears or extra clothing designed for wind protection and other weather situations.
