How long does it take to run six kilometers

Running is a very popular form of exercise, and long-distance running is both an effective and scientific sport. Because long-distance running not only exercises our physical fitness, but also exercises our psychological ability. Many people set a distance for themselves when running, and they consider the task completed only when they reach this distance. Some people run six kilometers every time they run. So, how long does a six-kilometer run take?

1. First of all, if we jog to lose weight, it is best not to run every day.

Seeing this, many people may have questions. Jogging is beneficial to our fitness and weight loss, and it can also enhance our physical fitness. Isn’t it good to run every day? In fact, the best case scenario is that we can run one day, then wait a day and run again. Because you can do some stretching exercises the day after running to increase your body's flexibility and make your body's metabolism smoother. The most important thing is to prevent fat and water from accumulating in your limbs and causing discomfort.

2. The second thing is the specific running time. Don’t just run for 20 minutes.

When it comes to 20 minutes, there is a lesson to pay attention to. Because according to theory, after we warm up, jogging for 20 minutes is the time when our body's rapid energy consumption reaches a certain level. When the consumption is almost complete, our fat, which is our reserve energy, will appear and begin to prepare for full burning.

So 20 minutes is almost a boundary, the moment when our fat starts to burn. Therefore, we cannot stop exercising immediately, because if we stop, we will not be able to fully burn fat to achieve the effect of weight loss.

So, how long is appropriate? Generally 40 minutes is a more appropriate running time.

3. Finally, there is the requirement for the speed of jogging to lose weight. Don’t run fast, but control your speed.

Many people think that the faster you run, the faster and more fat you burn. But the actual situation is just the opposite. Because you run too fast, the body cannot get enough oxygen. Our body is doing anaerobic exercise, and fat cannot fully participate in combustion, and therefore cannot be consumed.

Therefore, you should try to maintain a constant speed. Generally, jogging at 6-8km/hr is very suitable.

Then, we will be curious about how to judge whether our running exercise is an aerobic exercise.

The simplest way is, if you feel very tired while running, and you may even be out of breath, this means it is anaerobic exercise; but if your breathing while running is even and coordinated, and you can even chat with others while running, and you feel your breathing is very smooth, then it is aerobic exercise and your fat is burning.
