In Belgium, running has surged in popularity, yet many wonder if they are doing it right. The podcast “Loopje met de wetenschap,” hosted by science journalists Maxie Eckert and Dries De Smet, dives into the science behind running, the impact of fancy shoes, and surprising tips like why running slower can actually improve your speed.
So, what exactly happens in your body when you run, and why shouldn’t you expect immediate weight loss? Let’s uncover the key health benefits Belgian runners can appreciate.
Why does running benefit your body so much, even without shedding kilos? The answer lies in how running affects your overall health and metabolism. Instead of focusing solely on weight loss, consider these points:
- Running strengthens your heart and lungs, boosting endurance rapidly.
- It lowers the risk of chronic diseases common in Belgium, such as diabetes and heart conditions.
- Proper running technique and pacing can prevent injuries and improve long-term performance.
- Weight loss is not guaranteed because muscle gain and energy balance play significant roles.
As more Belgians lace up their running shoes, it’s time to shift the focus from just losing weight to embracing running for its full health benefits. Tune into “Loopje met de wetenschap” for science-backed insights and start running smarter today.
