Each type has its purpose as well as benefits. You can choose your preferred one from the following types:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Base. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a normal run.

There are short breaks in between. For instance, you could run for a distance of 400 metres five times and take rests of around 5 minutes for each interval. This type of run gives you running speed and power.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Hill repeats. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to the interval sprinting. However, here you will run uphill. For instance, you could run for 1 minute 10 times, taking a break between the repeats. This type of exercise will strengthen your stamina and improve your power as well as speed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Recovery. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are slow runs that are done after hard runs. For example, you could do uphill runs and do a 4-minute run at your comfortable pace.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Progression. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, you start slow and finish at a fast pace. For instance, you could do an 8km run at a natural pace and then 2km at a breakneck pace.

Science agrees with the statement.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One study revealed that people who consume four to five servings of white bread every day gain a lot more belly fat than those that consume the same amount of calories (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2954448\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">18<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, cut back on those cookies, doughnuts, pasta, crackers, and junk foods for the best results.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ditch_Sweetened_Beverages\"><\/span><b>Ditch Sweetened Beverages<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soda, coffee, fruit juice, beer, energy drinks, and any other sweetened beverages contain a lot of calories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even one cup of coke is bad for you. Research published by the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society supports the statement.

Research shows that eating a diet rich in monounsaturated fats is better for your blood sugar level than one rich in carbs.
