Christine L is correct. On the flip side, if you want bigger muscles you need to do sprints.

Answer 4

I don't like that female body builders look, so I can safely say that running makes you:

Slim- I've been running for years, but incorporating a little bit of weight training has done wonders for my body.

Answer 5

it builds slim muscles lifting weights would build bulky

Answer 6

women won't build bulky muscle unless they are doing things like taking steroids, eating raw eggs, or drinking a ton of protein shakes.  women body builders have crazy eating habits to build that kind of muscle.  running is a great way to slim down.

Answer 7

Running on an incline can increase the calf muscle slightly. Well, it did for me anyway. Overall it will slim you down. Great overall exercise for every part of your body.

Answer 8

Running is catabolic, it doesn't build muscle it actually burns it if you do it regularly, this makes the body more efficient, bulky muscles use more oxygen and are not so good for running over distance, although the muscles in your legs may get smaller they will get stronger and have a lean/defined look to them.
