I have read 25-30 miles a week should be a goal for weight loss. On another site I read that at 40 minutes into a run (at a comfortable pace) your body starts using fat as its main source for energy. I do not recall the sites I found this information on though, so sorry that I can’t really back it up. Good luck!
