The weight loss after running, is just sweat.
The real weight loss, is utterly minimal.
Are you hungry when you return from a run ?


Go back to the basics :
7000 kilocalories (kcal) less = 1 kg (just over 2 pounds) less.
Cut down the intake.


Running hard for short periods will NOT improve your condition.
You'll just get tired.
Train for longer periods, at least over 1 hour, but not as hard, say 70-80% of your max. heart rate
(rough formula : 220 - age ; if you were a sporty guy : 205 - half your age)


If you want to lose fat, training @ 60-70% max. heart rate for a longer time will do the trick.
You shouldn't really sweat (in normal conditions - AZ isn't really normal)
You shouldn't be hungry when you get home from training - unless it's your regular time to eat .
If you can stand it, go out and train sober to loose more fat - you force your body to use the stored fat as no fast sugars are available.
