A lot of runners I talk to are obsessed with burning calories, cutting carbs, and logging endless miles trying to get leaner. And while running does burn some calories, it’s actually not the most efficient way to change your body composition. The real magic happens when you build lean muscle mass. Today, I’m going to break down exactly how muscle boosts your metabolism, increases your fat-burning potential, improves your running economy, and helps you stay lean for life. By the end of this episode, you’re going to have a whole new appreciation for your muscles—and hopefully some motivation to start strength training if you haven’t already.
The post 299. Muscle is Your Metabolic Secret Weapon appeared first on Running Lean with Patrick McGilvray.
