My boyfriend is trying to lose a little weight by running, but he thinks he should run fast the whole time, which tires you out faster. I think he should run at a paced speed and every 5 or so minutes slow his speed down a little then go back up. He needs to pace himself so he can go longer but he thinks going all out is the best. What should he do?

He needs to actually mix them up for the best results. Running helps you lose weight, doesn't matter if it is fast or slow. And fast running does not help you lose weight faster, because you tend to run less when running fast. What running fast all the time will do is to injure you eventually, then you cannot run at all. His pace depends on his fitness level now. Some long slow days are great for endurance, and some shorter, quicker days are great for speed. By mixing them up you actually challenge to body more and will see greater results. Balance is always the key to true success.

You should run at least 30 minutes, for five days every week at a comfortable pace for you then gradually increase. Try brisk walks to that may seem slower but it is very rewarding. Also you definately have to watch what you eat because you might just be running in vain. It's like the saying you need both hand to clap. Well, you need to eat right and excersise in order to attain your goal.

build up an aerobic base first...long runs, that are still challenging, but at a pace you can maintain....then start interval runs, just as you mentioned...fast/slow...any running workouts that produce lactic acid, burn fat the most...high intensity...look at sprinters bodies...very low body fat.
