Pittspeed Fitness & Nutrition thread update:

I’ve got a question for fat loss. I’ve always been able to run as much as I want (while I was trying to stay in shape that is) but now I am not able to run on the ground for extended periods of time. I have compartment syndrome which prohibits me from abusing my shins too much…

Being overweight and trying to run with these shins is 10x worse than I ever remember while I was in shape…so the question is, if I run 1 mile (10 min) is this even doing any good for weight loss or should I just stick to 45 min workouts on the eliptical??

EDIT: The running on the street was never going to replace the other workouts at the gym…I’m just wondering if the supplemental workouts (street runs) are worth the pain.
