What??  Are you trying to injure yourself?[/quote]

Exactly, wearing weights helps you lose weight.  It probably just slows you down and hurts your form.  If you want to improve fitness, then just run faster or farther as your fitness improves.

You are doing great to exercise every day.  You burn roughly 100 calories per mile.  You need to burn 3,500 calories to lose one pound.  So if your weight was stable and you are eating the same, then you will lose one pound per week by running 5 miles per day.

If you want to accelerate progress, then try making one or two weekly workouts include intervals, where you run extra fast for 1-3 minutes, and then run slower to recover.  Also, switch to resistance exercise one day per week (squats, push-ups, pull-ups, presses, rows) or at least something different from running (rowing, biking, swimming).  Variety will reduce injuries and spur progress by training different muscles.[/quote]
