question about RUNNING

[FIGHTING_FLIP]

instead of running 4 miles straight, would running 2 miles in the morning and 2 miles in the middle of the day have the same effect as running 4 miles straight? stamina wise,fat burn etc..

It would probably be more inconveniant to do 2 different runs, imo a 4 miler on its own would improve your stamina more as you are not resting and doing it straight

if i was you ido all my exercise at the same time

2 miles is long enough for amateur conditioning. Running 4 will only make the intensity lower. Therefore doing 2 miles twice, with higher intensity (you can run 2 miles at a higher pace than 4 miles) will burn more calories and be better for (amateur) boxing conditioning.

I do my 4 mile run at the same pace as my 2 miler

I do my 4 mile run at the same pace as my 2 miler

Then you're not going fast enough on your 2 miler

I agree with punch drunk, about how long does it take you to run 2 miles?

[PunchDrunk]

It's really simple, and anyone who's ever tried to run 2 miles and 4 miles would know this; The longer the distance, the slower you'll run.
