Your cardiovascular health will improve, but it's very easy to not lose weight when running is something that burns less Calories than many people think.

Agreed, health is gained by exercise, but weight is mostly lost in the kitchen.

The funny part that comes after is that the human body is built for pure efficiency, and tries to offset burned calories by subconciously moving less throughout the rest of the day.

So in total, you won't actually have burned an extra 776
