I ran 6 miles on my own and then ran 2 miles with my wife trying to pace her and help her train for a 5 k in August. Avergae pace for the 6 miles was 9:04 with a average heart rate of 133, a nice easy pace. I then paced Cindie for the 2 miles at an 11:00 pace and she was having a tough time but she got through it. She has been running for about a month now and she is frustrated because she hasn't lost any weight, I have told her that it takes time and she has to stick with it and the weight will start coming off as she improves her diet and is consistent with her mileage. She has been consistent with the running and the cross training but she is still working on the diet end of it, she is doing really well and I am very proud of her!!! No strength training today, I didn't have enough time.

When you first start running it is not uncommon to actually gain weight - bones become thicker, and fat is being replaced with muscle, which is heavier than fat. The progress should be measured by the ability to run longer and faster.

Also, diet is very important. Even if you are able to lose weight through exercise alone, having low quality foods in your system is not a good idea, they take place of higher quality foods that your body needs to be stronger.
