30JanWeek #13 Friday exercise / 90 min (11.6 km)

This was one of the most intensive exercises I have done this year.  90 minutes of action and 60 minutes of running.

  • 10 minutes of warming up
  • 20 minutes of running at 8.5 km/h and 1% incline
  • 5 minutes of walking at 6.5 km/h
  • 20 minutes of running at 8.5 km/h and 1% incline
  • 5 minutes of walking at 6.5 km/h
  • 20 minutes of running at 8.5 km/h and 1% incline
  • 10 minutes of walking to cool down

I was glad that my heart beat didn’t go over 155 bpm and that the running part was not exhausting. Nevertheless I have felt heavy legs in the third running interval but managed to stick to the plan and run full 20 minutes.

Until the end I have burned 686 calories and ran/walked 11.6 km.

A great workout! And now that I know how much running I can do in one workout I plan to do it again and slowly be able to do longer and faster runs.

Here is a short summary:

  • 5 minutes of 12% incline walking
  • 5 minutes to cool down

23JanWeek #12 Thursday exercise / 60 min (7.4 km)

I have changed the structure of my workout a bit. So the formula for my last exercise was:

  • 15 inutes of warming up by walking
  • 15 minutes of running at 8.5 km/h and 2% incline
  • 5 minutes of walking, to get heart rate down to 130 bpm
  • 15 minutes of running at 8.5 km/h and 2% incline
  • 5 minutes of incline walking at 12% incline
  • 5 minutes to cool down

I have also began taking some fat burners in the morning and before exercise and they really boost my energy (no wonder as there is such an amount of caffeine in them).  If I’ll find them I’ll post a link to them later this day. This is the link to EAS Thermo Dynamx.

In this exercise I have burned 527 calories and ran/walked 7.4 km. A great workout :)
