The correct speed to lose fat while running is slow to medium paced. If you go too fast, all you will be burning is sugar not fat. I've experimented with this recently and found it to be true. Emphasize distance over speed and slowly increase your stamina over time. The fat will burn.
very simple, i lost 36kg in one year and i was in the same scenario as you, All i did was start with morning jogs (body is most active and ready to burn) 30 mins first steady pace then slowly as you get comfy increase the pace and time i ended up with a 1hr fast paced jog after 2months and kept that going for a yr, also i changed it up with adding 1 minute sprints every 10 mins in the jogs that really helps keep your heart rate up which is important for core temp. now im a trainer

erm, yeh jogging good, but long walks also work
I'll get to the exercise, but there are a few things I have to say, first.
I always read that losing weight is 10% exercise and 90% diet. So, while you might lose fat just running, you probably won't unless you start counting calories. It's easy to find a calorie calculator online which will tell you how many calories you should be eating per day to maintain your current weight (after you input your height, weight, age, and activity level). Whatever that number is, decrease it by 200-600 calories and that is how much you should eat in a day for effective weight loss (start out at cutting out 200 a day and slowly work your way to cutting out 600 per day, if you're having trouble). However, you should ALWAYS eat the minimum amount of whatever you've cut back to, and NEVER cut back to below 1200 calories. Otherwise, your body might think it's starving and you won't burn fat at all, as well as this being outright dangerous for other reasons.
And as for more warnings, drink plenty of water, and make sure you eat a variety of foods. You should be able to cut back on calories without feeling starving all the time. Things like lima beans, sprouts, and green vegetables can be really filling without being loaded with calories (even though they're not always delicious). It's also worth noting that it's unhealthy to lose weight at a rate of more than 2lbs per week, and that you should also consult with your doctor before starting any diet/exercise plan.
Anyways, onto the exercise. A track can be ideal, so long as the weather stays good. If you manage 45 minutes a day of even just walking, that should be more than enough to go with the proper diet. Of course, if you're running, that's even better, but don't push yourself too hard, because... there is an intensity level which is ideal for burning fat, and if you're exercising too hard, you'll leave that ideal level. Without being able to monitor your heart rate, the only way I know is to pay attention to when you start sweating. Exercise at the fat-burning intensity level should make you start to sweat after about 10 minutes of doing it (keep in mind that a sunny day may make you sweat sooner and a cold day may delay your sweating).
How much time you spend running every week will depend on what kind of shape you're in, which I have no way of knowing. But exercise (jogging or walking) at that fat-burning intensity level is an effective way to burn fat when all you have is a track to run.
Again, drink lots and lots of water. And once you've lost your weight, I recommend calculating how many calories you should eat in a day to maintain your new weight (of course, this time you don't take any off of it).
This is my absolute best advice, and I hope it helps.
