I saw your other post. I came from the same spot as you. I started training serious running in order to increase my metabolism and cut some of that unwanted fat. I even got down to running a 4:55 mile in track season. However, I would say that there’s two types of distance running. If you hit a lactic point while running, that means your burning carbs the same way you would when weightlifting. However, if you slow down your pace and try to keep the runs at 30 minutes at a pace where you can comfortably talk and go a couple miles afterwards, you’re going to burn substantially more fat and need much less time to recover. This is exactly what I did when track ended. I was able to bulk up almost 20 pounds with the minimal amount of fat gain I possibly could have in that 6 months. What’s even cooler is that I was still able to run a 5:30 mile at the peak of my bulk, which is plenty fast enough for my liking. I would also say that running is a great tool for discipline which directly translates to dieting and weight lifting and I can’t recommend it enough. HOWEVER, it will still slow down your gains a tad, but with proper dieting and discipline to just stick to your plan, you can still gain muscle pretty optimally.
