If you want to lose weight you need to regularly burn more calories than you consume. This can be achieved by simply altering your diet or doing more exercise. If you choose an exercise, which sport is the best value when it comes to burning those excessive calories?
We have already looked at the difference between swimming and running in a rough experiment so we thought it made sense to now compare cycling and running. For this one, we are stepping things up and heading to the physiology lab at Team Bath to get a little sciencey!

    getting high from exercise is super unhealthy. it is a result of high destructive cortisol that cranks out other steroid hormones to mask away pain - even if it still there. on the other side it reduces testosterone and is wasting muscle. this is why elite marathon runners look ugly skinny fat. not healthy like sprinters. chronic high cortisol sucks out your life and makes you age fast. on the other side alternating training in zone 5 and zone 2 has an anti-aging effect because you grow new healthy mitochondria. with SIT in zone 5, there is mitophagy happening, which is autophagy of the mitochondria (destruction of old defect mitochondria and making room for new healthy ones) so: never ever train in zone 3 (of 5), only alternating in zone 5 and 2

    I have lost 20 kilos (45 pounds) in 4 months by cycling. As soon as the pandemic started I turned to biking to manage my stress. I started riding 32 kilometers every day (6am) on my mountain bike but on a paved road, I was still stressed, so I added an afternoon ride (6pm) also for 32k. I ride a total of 64k six days a week and after losing 20 kilos (45 pounds) I'm 5 kilos (11 pounds) away from my target optimal weight. With a sugar-less diet, patience and a twinkle of OCD :) I have managed to keep the riding regimen and loving it.

But agreed, it is harder on the body, there are diminishing returns as the distance increases, and I think a study showed extreme ultra runners had weaker cardiovascular health.

Shifted houses where I couldn't run anymore, so shifted to 1 hour of cycling. That 1 hr has dropped to 50 mins and dropping further, so need to up the time for a similar cardio workout.

    I have spent all of last year cycling training. I lost some weight, but not nearly as much and as rapidly as I have over the last 5 months only running at similar intensity and regularity. The difference for me is the hunger generated. I feel a far greater need to consume a ton of carbs after my bike rides ( usually lasting an hour) v what I crave after a run ( same duration and intensity). I never feel desperately craving carbs after running compared to my crazy carb craving after cycling. And this difference in what I crave to consume for the rest of the day has helped me lose just over 3 kg running. So, that's an interesting phenomenon for me: how my body reacts to the running v cycling.

    I do both, biking improves my ability to run. Biking allows me to have stronger legs which gives me an advantage when I run. I used to prefer biking over running but after seeing improvements I can actually say running isn’t so bad. For me weather also plays a big factor as I don’t like to bike in windy conditions. For someone who does nothing I’d advise to start off with biking and then slowly transitioning to both.

    I think it may be worse than that... If a person actually exercises at the same rate for the cycle and the run (to make a fair comparison) then they would have actually done the same internal work/chemistry and used the same volume of oxygen. All they have shown is that heart-rate monitors, which come in a box with a receipt, are less accurate than VO2 meters, which come in a lab with a scientist. Not surprising. The differences between cycling and running are nothing to do with energy, they are everything else.

    I don't know why it is, but I had been running more than 70 miles a week and my weight stablilized at around 170 to 176. But as soon as I started doing indoor spinning or the Flywheel app I have lost 10 to 15 pounds. And most of the miles I was running were at sub 8 minute pace. But I have also found that I can maintain my heart rate as high or even higher for longer periods of time while cycling. I still use running as part of my exercise routine but the indoor cycling has kept me injury free, and can substitute cycling for running with no loss of fitness. One Caveat my weight loss due to biking only works if and only I can spin at 200 to 270 watts per a 45 minute to 30 minute session. It is a formula that works for me, your formula might differ but probably not by much. Cheers.

When it comes to bikes, specially mountain bikes, it's a common knowledge that majority of them have multiple speed selection specially if you're an elite biker who mainly focuses on cycling as a workout or training. I know it doesn't get easier even if you lower your MTB gear but hey, it actually gives you a little more room for comfort even when you're pedaling in a faster pace, coz you know, you're still sitting down and it's much lighter. Now when it comes to running, we all know we don't have gear options in oir bodies to make hill runs easier, our bodies are built as is and we use all of those muscles to push it to the top without even the slightest comfort of sitting unlike being on a bike. So yeah, I'd say running is harder though..

    Thank you for the great video! The mentioned calorie difference is only valid by running/cycling in fitness. The real difference comes from: 1. Attitude difference - even by 100m you can tell there is a big impact. When cycling by descent you can just keep your low HR - in comparison by running you cannot "relax". 2. Uneven terrain - when you run, you need to pay attention and keep safe which increase the calorie burn 3. Duration - the fatique boosts significantly the calorie burn and by 2hours running well trained person is burning far more calories in comparison to 2h cycling My personal conclusionis is that with running I'm burning almost twice the calories in comparison to the cycling activity.

    When I started My first (and most nostalgia-evoking) loaded bike tour back on July the 29th of 2007, I weighed 95kg. By the 18th of August (21 days later and ca. 1.800km further), upon reaching the destination, I weighed 85kg. And it was quite the experience, too! Miss it dearly. I must admit that My subsequent cycle tours were less efficient in the regard of calorie expenditure, mostly because I was too complacent and consumed a lot of calories underway, in effect thus losing only 3-4 kilos per the same amount of time and distance covered. I've boxed for 4 years, done Brazilian JuJitsu for ca. 6 months, kick-boxer for a year and cycled fairly long and often since 1998 - and, while I was in a fairly good shape at 25 or thereabouts, none was quite as efficient in the sense of getting Me in shape as a loaded cycle tour, combined with a moderate calorie intake. HIIT (again, combined with a controlled calorie intake) was also remarkably efficient. As mentioned, running unquestionably will burn more calories than cycling, but I'm yet to come across a person who can run for 10 hours on end at speeds exceeding walking speed. Walking, upon the other hand, will only burn one-third or thereabouts as many calories as cycling will.

    Historically I'm more of a cyclist but lately I've been doing a little of both in the home gym. I've started doing what I call an "indoor sprint triathlon" twice a week with a quick a 750m on the Skierg rower for the swim, 20 km on the spin bike, and then 5 km treadmill run to finish it off. All in all takes about an hour because I'm a hobbyist at best and I'm also spending some time changing shoes, etc. I do find it to be a good workout and the equipment changes keep me from getting bored. You can't really trust equipment calorie calculators too much but the 20 km bike and the 5 km run both say I am burning just over 400 calories each with the bike taking just under 35 minutes and the run taking just over 24 minutes.

Thus far walking at 3.0 mph at a 3% incline puts me in Zone 2 and is somewhat enjoyable. I do it for an hour each time. I tried a stationary cycle and due to burning in my legs I was only able to last 15 minutes in what I think was Zone 2. I am basing my effort on my ability to breathe through my nose, ability to speak somewhat easily while exercising, heart rate and wattage produced. I think that I would prefer cycling due to the relative speed but time will tell. Thanks for the video.

    I know this seems like something that "logically makes sense" and might even be "technically true" but it is irrational to give this as advice without context. Running only causes damage when you do more effort that your body can currently handle. I know many people well above 250lbs who run but it does not hurt them because they run correctly and run at a volume/intensity which is not damaging with appropriate recovery.

    I enjoy your channel, and watched your two videos on what is the best way to lose weight. The results were not a surprise, because it all relates back to the size of the muscle Lats vs quad and hamstrings. But all of you are in great shape. For the person who is not in top physical shape, the problem with the bike is that it is easy to coast. You can get by little effort. Swimming some different. People in poor physical shape are taking a couple of leisurely laps (typically breast stroke) and get out of the pool. It takes training just to get yourself to a point where you're exerting energy. If you're over weight and take up running, the forces on your joints are brutal. The best place to start if you're trying to lose weight and are out of shape is walking.

    What did your POLAR watches read compared to the lab results in terms of "kcal"?

    Were they Polar watches I thought it looked like a Suunto 9 she was wearing. I would have loved to have know how accurate the watches were in comparison.

    @@Roger101Watson GTN is sponsored since the early days by POLAR and the protagonists are wearing the latest model whenever it comes out. They even use the polar bike computers.... I think, since they are not pointing out the accuracy that might tell something. I personally still use the Polar M430 and I am very happy with, I wish there would be an appropriate successor, I like polar flow and the general user interface approach. IMHO the Vantage are not an alternative for my M430 :(

    @@eingast7798 I've never even looked at a Polar watch I sort of discovered Suunto from watching GMBN thought they looked cool and as I have a dislike for Garmin it was my first fitness product. Polar does look good I might have to have a closer look.

    One big difference is you never go down zero watts when running but you do when cycling.

    Maybe - depends on your running environment donit? Also, isn't that a training issue? Plus when powering down in cycling, your body is still pumping out energy via your metabolism and raised heart rate....? I s'pose you can bend this argument anyway you want.

    I stick to biking. For me it's more enjoyable, I can bike for two hours, like going fast, like the burning in my legs when going up hills, and enjoy the thrill of going downhill fast. I cannot, on the other hand, run for two hours or find it enjoyable.
