Yes, if you jog. Not if you walk.
The calorie burm difference between walking and running 6-8 miles is negligible.

You also need to follow established guidelines around increasing mileage: don’t increase weekly mileage by more than 10% each week, and your weekly long run shouldn’t be more than half of your total weekly mileage.
Okay, this is helpful. I did 18.5 miles this week, no injury and felt really good on my last run. Will do 20 miles max next week.

Doing 8 milers three times a week isn’t something people who do two races a year do or who are 20 pounds overweight. You’re better off doing shorter distances of varying intensities over the week. Mark my words this idea won’t last long if you do it.
It’s not a long-term plan. Just something to do to short term to lose the weight while the gym is not open. Also getting peloton next week (hopefully), so will incorporate that as well.

Lies. I lost 35 lbs 4 months walking an hour 5 days a week.
Was this more of a power walk or a stroll?

I’m not a newbie, despite the question. I’ve always done 10 milers twice a year or so and trained for them. But I never used running alone for weight loss. I‘ve mostly done weight lifting + diet for fat loss. Also I’ve never had 20 pounds to lose - I let myself go this winter and am the heaviest I’ve ever been.

If you also limit caloric intake, then yes. Running alone won't do it. I wish it would...

Yes, it's very easy to lose weight by running that much.

Lifting weights, but it had gotten incredibly inconsistent this winter through the quarantine.

Will I lose weight if I run 6-8 miles every other day? I have 20 pounds to lose. As far as diet, I seem to have lost my appetite being stuck in the house.
