Question

If i run 3 times a week will i start to see some muscle results? i usually run about a mile?

Answer 1

you usually dont get muscles with running, only endurance. try lifting weights or run for a longer amount of time

Answer 2

A mile is a good distance to begin with.   But it doesn't make for a lengthy workout.

Unless you're combining your runs with other exercise routines that total up to around 40 minutes per workout, your improvements may take a while to appear.

Add a half mile per week until you work your way up to 3 miles per run.  Also add other calisthenic exercises to your workout sessions.

Answer 3

In the thighs and calfs, but depends on how fast you run them.

Answer 4

Running a mile 3 times a week is commendable and certainly beats not running at all, but it ain't gonna do much to your body.

A bare minimum to see any results at all is to run at least 1 mile 6 days a week.

Good Luck

Answer 5

If you are only doing 1 mile 3 times each week I don't think you are going to see much muscle development.

Answer 6

The only thing I have noticed peronally is that my legs are leaner and toner. The only place I noticed any significant increase in muscle mass is on my calves. Running will not really build mussle if that is your objective.
