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?? > [@Any reccomended places to get an old radiator re-cored?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/any-reccomended-places-to-get-an-old-radiator-re-cored/39872/5): > > I’ve got a question for fat loss.

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. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/pittspeed-fitness-nutrition-thread-update/180728)._
