Running with a black bag

You could tie it to your back like a parachute the go running. The extras resistance will make you work a little harder. Thats about the only benifit I can see from running with a black bag.

disclaimer - you will look like a nutter.
 
Surely all you will do is dehydrate because you are sweating more. Is this something that boxers do when they have to get their weight down for a weigh-in before a fight?

I think you might be better just jogging or perhaps consider jogging with a rucksack with a few kg weights in it. Try doing sprint intervals, I do them and I think they are more effective than just jogging.
 
You will put the weight you lose back on, as soon as you take a drink.
Good for Endurance training though ?

Aye, weights is the way to go.
Wearing sand packs (or buy them metal weight bags for your legs) - run with them and you'll reach 2 miles feeling like you've done your 5th.
 
My old fella used to wear the old black bin liner around the top half of his body whilst playing Squash with me.

He collapsed!!

Lesson learnt.
 
My cousin used to do the same. He wore a black plastic bag under his shirt when playing football. TBH I'm not sure why but there was a reason. Sweated bucket loads though.
 
It won't do any good. Its used by boxers and jockeys to shed weight before a weigh in. You put it back on almost straight away when you start drinking. You also loose a lot of salts from your body through sweat which need replacing.

Can't see any benefit for doing this as part of a regular workout.
 
Just run with a giant kite behind you, I'm pretty sure this will slow you down, just make sure it is a windy day.

hey guys, ive recently taken up jogging as a way too get fit, lose weight and just too get outside for a bit. I run about 4 miles, 3 times a week and i run with a blackbag under my thermal top thingy. apparently this is what the boxers do or whatever.
Now here's the question, are there any health risks I have too think about while running with a blackbag on, my friend has mentioned overheating. but im not sure what that is. thanks

You know I do nothing but laugh at these wannabe boxers that run in full tracksters, hoodie and gloves in the this weather. No you dont look like Rocky Balboa you look a twit. Run in shorts and a t-shirt/vest and you wont look a complete moron.

As for the black bin liner :confused: :o
