Drink a cup of coffee before running

Drinking coffee before running is actually a way for many runners to improve their road running performance. And in terms of running fat burning, this is also a way that can be used as a reference.

"Caffeine" can increase the concentration of fatty acids in plasma, stimulate fat metabolism, increase fat oxidation, and save glycogen use, which helps to extend endurance and enhance athletic performance.

In other words, drinking a cup of coffee before getting on the treadmill can stimulate fat metabolism, prolong exercise time, and make muscle fibers more excited, thereby reducing the feeling of fatigue. According to follow-up studies, drinking a cup of coffee before running can increase the fat burning efficiency on the treadmill by 5% to 10%.

However, the premise is that runners must first confirm whether they have irregular heartbeat, cardiovascular or gastrointestinal diseases. Otherwise, standing on the treadmill after drinking coffee may cause bad situations.

Weight training first, then running

From the perspective of the energy system, weight training first will use "glucose" as the main energy source, and then when running training, it will be converted into "fat" as the source of energy consumption.

For this reason, if you want to burn more fat on the treadmill, you should actually do a certain amount of weight training first, and then start running. If you do weight training after running, then there may be a lack of energy supply.

However, it cannot be ignored that when doing aerobic exercises such as running, the body not only consumes fat to supply energy, but also consumes glucose at the same time, in this way to fill the window period before fat is converted into energy.
