HR question

[mekira]

Well on my run yesterday I kept my HR up in the 153-160 range... it was an interval workout 2run/1walk. I ran a 2k - took me 16 minutes....160 HR was a bit too high. I was fine for the first 3 intervals but bonked at the end (had to do 4 to get to 2k). so next time, I'll try keeping it a bit lower (in the 153-155 range).

Hey I'm learning. At least now I CAN run for 2 minutes straight

Only 8 calories? Is that even possible? I thought we burned more than that per hour just sustaining life (even while asleep)!

I KNOW! I didn't think it was possible! I'm hoping that since the HR monitor only bases calories burned on HR, that it was only measuring how many calories I burned based on my low HR. I KNOW we burn more than that just by "being." Heck- my trainer told me we burn 70 calories a day just sitting instead of lying down (so guess who's sit-sleeping now? just kidding ).


All those muscles we have are burning all kinds of calories- my HR montior just didn't know about them.



Oh Mekira- nice job on the intervals yesterday!!!!! Keep at it, girl!!!
