Proper way to run/jog?

Question

What is the correct way to run/jog? Say I wanted to go for a 20 min. run, do I run the whole time, or should I walk at some intervals?
Also, I live in northern Ontario, and it's really cold lately. Is it ok to run in cold weather (like -10 Celsius)?
Any pointers would be appreciated, because I'm trying to lose weight (been 4 weeks now, I lost 5 pounds). I feel like I should be doing more.

Answer 1

your aim should be to run the whole time, if you cant try running at a slower pace, if you must walk, try walking at a pace where you can keep your heart rate going, I try not to run in very cold wether bc I cant breathe properly, you shoud switch out your running days, run outside twice per week when its nice and when its really cold try running treadmill...its a bore but to keep it interesting change up the pace and incline....have fun!!!! (dont forget to add strength training to your workouts)

Answer 2

if you can run the whole time then do it. what you are really aiming for is to get your heart rate up to a certain point and maintain it. that will force your body to use stored up fat cells. the rate really depends on your age.
