I don't have a problem with running, but I've always seen running as more of a hobby than as a highly effective weight loss tool. My reasoning for this is because the body adapts well to running and the energy needed to run is reduced once you become "good" at running. The metabolic demand on the body diminishes over time and running is no longer as effective a fuel burner as it used to be. While this rings true for most activities, runners tend to be a sort who hold tightly to their trade and don't look kindly upon other forms of weight loss activity.
I came by this article the other day and decided it was definitely worth passing on to any women who run in hopes of decreasing body fat.
