High-intensity interval-training (HIIT), is the new way to go, which prevents painful knee or back issues that often accompany long runs and your body will actually burn MORE calories AFTER you complete your workout! This is called Energy Post-Exercise Consumption.
Work at intervals of up to 85-90% of your max heart rate (220-your age) and then work at 60-70% during slower sections. Rate your effort on 1-10 with "10 feeling like you're sprinting to escape a mugger and 6 or 7 like you're hustling across a platform to catch a train." Love this description!
So hit a shorter workout for a higher intensity, and spend less time doing more for your body!
