How often should I run?

[Smooth as Anything]

I'm just starting to run (every other day for the past week or two). I want to kick it up to 6 days a week, resting on sundays.

Good / Bad?

Are you interested in keeping your muscle or just losing fat?

I suppose I want to keep my muscle, but I've been lifting without cardio for awhile... and the problem is I've gotten larger faster, and devoloped stretch marks... Not really sure what to think yaknow?

Open to advice.

Run as much as u can, comes in handy

If you want to lose a lot of body fat (ie you aren't already ripped/cut) then you should try and run every day but make sure you're eating properly and eating enough and that you're getting a good deal of protein every day. You will get faster results this way. If you just want to stay in shape, every second day is fine. When I'm maintaining I do weights and stuff one day and cardio the next. Just rotate it like that.
