hi im 5'10 and about 187lb im 18, i have been inactive forever and i just started to eat better and run, im really only looking for weight loss to get rid of all my extra fat in my whole body, i heard running is good for loseing over-all body weight. I work so i dont have all the time to run, but i run 3 times a day. I get winded fast so thats why i do it 3 times a day everyday instead of one long one. I tracked the distance with my car its about .8 miles the run i do so three times a day thats about 2.4 miles per day. Ive been doing it for a couple of days now and it seems to be working. Im pretty slow though but ive just started so i figure the longer i do it the easier it will come. I've also stoped eating fast food and im on a water only diet. Besides milk i still drink in the moarnings. I was hopeing someone could give me some advice as if my running 3 times a day for really not to long of a time will be just as effective. I like the pase im going at now and i do feel better even though its only been a couple of days sorry for the long thread i just need some good advise.

The exercising for a short period of time 3 times daily is very effective and will help you not only physically but it is very therapeutic for your mind (helps relieve stress).
Keep up the good work and in the coming weeks try to make the distance a little further, and if you need to drop it down to twice a day. It takes a lot of dedication to stay focused.
Good luck,
Alexander Timm

I agree with Peace_Hope that your "mini runs" can be effective but work on building your endurance so that you can run longer. Its not about distance, its about time. The idea is to keep your heart rate constant for a period of time. I jog about 5 times a week for 30 minutes and have gotten good results from this. The goal is not to necessarily lose fat during your workout but to boost your metabolism so that you will burn more calories throughout the day.
Part of the reason that you are getting winded so fast is most likely you are just starting out. But also mabye your going to fast, try slowing down you pace so you can keep going longer.
