Energizer Singapore’s iconic night trail is back with its 5th edition on Saturday, 2 May 2015! Embodying their “That’s Positivenergy” slogan, the global leader in portable power solutions is pledging S$11,000 to support SportCares Foundation’s sports programmes. Since its launch in 2012, the community-engagement foundation has reached out to more than 8,000 underprivileged and at-risk youth through positive platforms like football, basketball, running, dragonboat and tennis.

While everyone’s falling asleep safe and sound or even having fun on their weekend night, it’s a different scenario for Sabah’s running scene. It’s time to run out in the darkness for the Asia Xtreme Adventure (AXA) X12 Dark Run which was held on Sunday, 1 March 2015 at Nexus Karambunai Resort in a suburban area of Sepanggar. The event flagged off at 12:00 a.m. and went on till 6:00 a.m. in the morning.

But for a lot of us we are also hoping that all this running training will lead to losing some of those stubborn kilograms or finally getting rid of our muffin top.

However if you are pounding the pavement but seeing no results in the weight loss department, then check out the list below for the five most common reasons why you are running all the time but not losing any weight.
