eL Bee! Oct 2009 8:30pm, 16 Oct 2009 10,487 posts	Quote Pin eL Bee! Chirunner - you burn a greater percentage of fat sitting in your sofa than you do running at any pace. However, you are NOT burning very many calories at all, so it's a Big Percentage of Not Very Much. As pace increases you will burn less calories as fat, but significantly more calories overall - the nett effect being More Fat Burning. (if you believe in all that stuff)
