Does Running Makes You loose muscle?

Question

Like im lifting weights to get stronger and get more cut like my muscles and gain muscle...

Does running Make you loose muscle that u gain and makes you lean?is that a myth or fact?

Answer 1

In no way have i ever seen someone loose muscle due to running. Running makes you very slender because it burns a lot of fat. I started running in 6th grade cross country and now i just finished my 7th track season and all i hear from my friends is how ripped i am.

Answer 2

If you don't get enough nutrition, it could.

Running burns calories; specifically, any aerobic activity will burn away fat first, but then will burn away other things like muscle and protein.

Only lifting weights will make you a slower runner; only running may eventually diminish your muscle mass.  Eat carbs & proteins, hydrate properly and find a balance between weight-lifting and aerobic and you should be okay.

Answer 3

NO WAY! running makes you stronger!!!! you don't burn off muscle, you burn off fat!

Answer 4

Answer 5

Running alot on a sufficient diet makes your muscles much tougher.

Answer 6

No, no exercise will lose muscle.  Inactivity will make you soft.

Answer 7
