It's up to you =) I personally did cardio for time. 44:44 was my usual, and I adjust the speed/resistance according to how I feel.

It all depends on your goals really! When i was losing weight, i did it by time. It was always easier for me with time and i suggest you give it a try too!

Personally, time works for me.......but as long as you're running, you cannot go wrong.

Distance for me, although I always time myself for that distance and try and break PR's, or I add distance in case of saturday long runs. I hate running for time though, I need a solid finish line to look forward to, whether that be mile 5, 6 or 12. Been working for me, my 5 mile run went from 39-40 minutes in november or so, to 35-36 minutes recently. Run distance increased from 8 to 12 miles. Although in many reputable training books they recommend going by time.

Running will give you a harder workout in the least amount of time, however, it is highly impactive, so build slow. Brisk walking, you have to be careful with because it's too easy to slow down below aerobic zone I find, but if you really push yourself, it is a viable option, and you can do it until your a octogenarian or longer even as it is low impact. You could however, run 3-4 times a week, and brisk walk or bike the other days, and this could be the best option. Once you get to where I am though, running is like drugs, it suck at fist but you get addicted as hell after a while, which in both cases can be disastrous for health. |

I find it far more interesting to go for distance and compare the time I complete that distance in to what I did last time. But it doesn't really matter, as long as you're doing it.

If you want to lose fat, not only do you need to do cardio but you should also cut some calories.

Thanks
At least 30 minutes at a pace where you're able to talk to another person if your goal is a steady decrease of weight, provided you eat less than your tdee by 5 percent. As long as you're losing weight, don't change your intensity or your meal plan, but when you no longer lose weight, recalculate your tdee and increase your intensity. Intensity being how fast your run or walk or increase in your time spent on the treadmill. Tdee being hour total daily expenditure measured by a calorie calculator. |

I'd say time first and then increase resistance/angle and/or speed later.
