Running
 
Running for an hour may burn more calories than a one-hour strength workout, but weight training causes you to keep burning calories for days after the workout is over. Repairing and rebuilding the damaged muscle fibers requires energy—that is, the calories you’re consuming, which might otherwise be stored around your waist. On top of the metabolic effect, weight training boosts your natural fat-fighting hormones like testosterone and growth hormone.

I honestly think, after decades of running, that unless you're an endurance athlete or you absolutely love running that weight training in any form is a far more useful form of exercise.

Running for weight loss is a flawed idea. Yes you will lose weight but it won't necessarily be fat. In order to retain muscle you'll need to replace those burned off calories.

Not knocking running per se. I loved it but if
I had my time again I'd have done shorter distances faster and spent more time training with weights, whether that was circuits, muscle or strength building.
