Whats a better fat burner?

Suicides or Long Distance Running

I'm drying to burn some fat. For Baseball, we run both Suicides and Long Distance, and I always feel dead after Suicides (which I'm assuming is good, as it shows I'm being worked). I want to start running in the offseason, so I'm wondering which one will burn the most amount of fat in the quickest amount of time.

For your overall amount of time spent working out, do 90% suicides, 10% long distance runs. Boom, there you go.

WTF is a suicide? I know what it means by most terms but as far as "running" what do you do?

start at one side of a basketball court. run to freethrow line and back, then to half court and back, then to the other freethrow line and back, then all the way to the other end and back. repeat until you die

The basketball team at my school does push ups at each line.

Do suicides. Long distance is boring as fuck.

This. Also, when I played in High School our team would run 3-2-1s and suicides, stopping at the line and doing pushups (or crunches, coach left it up to you to decide.) We would only do them at the end of practice though.

Don't do them all day, and make sure to do the suicides AFTER the distance. You don't want to rape your muscles and lungs then go for a 3 mile jog.

You get better results if you rape yourself after the long run.

What the hell is a 3-2-1 ?

I personally prefer doing suicides in a large parking lot when it's empty (like a wal-mart or something) start in the middle and make your way to the outer edges and then back to the center again. fun stuff

suicide is your best option. use a gun, no backsies.

it's a trick question and there's not right answer without you giving more information.

suicides (or any sprint based exercise) will burn energy at a higher rate, consuming more calories per minute of actual exercise. however, you are not always in motion and by averaging total calories over total time the average number is very different from peak calorie/min.

long distance running is the opposite: calories used per minute are lower, but the exercise is constant so total cal/min is the same as peak cal/min.

taken to an extreme: walking a mile and sprinting a mile burn the same number of calories. walking burns them slowly over a long period of time. sprinting burns them quickly with a much higher peak output. but the total number of calories is the same.

which is better? i dunno. can you do sprint based work long enough to compare with a total numbers you'd burn doing distance? can you keep up a distance pace fast enough to burn the same amount you'd do over a sprint session?

No he's wrong.

Try running a mile, and then after you recover, walking a mile. Which makes you more tired? Running, obviously. Therefore it burns mroe energy.

Also, suicides are probably going to be a better fat burner, because they are akin to HIIT, and make your body continually burn calories after you;re finished running.

Nope. Walking is a much more efficient movement. Sprinting a mile burns much more calories than walking a mile.

Driving a constant 35 mph burns as much gas as driving at 100mph.

What makes the above incorrect is pretty much what makes you incorrect. However, jogging is technically more efficient than walking if your muscles are adapted to it, as a lot more momentum is lost/unutilized while walking, so more new force has to be created, plus your heart rate is raised for a significantly longer amount of time.
