Running Focus
So.. using the calculators posted in the post before this one:
You burn 456 calories.
If you jog at 5.5 mph (approx. 9 km/h) for 30 minutes you will burn 456 calories.
Ya know... that sounds kind of high... but whatever, I'll take it! As stated in many post, I generally suck at running. But I usually run at a 6.0 mph/10 minute mile pace... for 30 minutes. So, by this calculators' standards, I'm burning around 500 calories... I guess that's possible.
It's always a guestimation even on the calculator's part right? Back in Phoenix, when I was going through my 1,000cal day workouts, it would generally take me about 73-75 minutes. So 1 hour and 15 minutes to get to 1,000 calories burned. That's using the different cardio machines calculations though. Whatever.
I've been doing paced runs this week so far, but next week I think I'm going to focus on interval runs again. I did do a 10 minute set of intervals yesterday and today within that 30 minutes, but not as intense. I'm also working on breathing ladders so that I can get my lungs up to speed and in shape sooner. Also doing some sipping exercises to help open up my lung capacity.
It's interesting when you've been running for 20 minutes and you're still going at a really good pace... and you yawn.
Leah would yawn during Spin classes and the instructor would always think that she wasn't working out hard enough. But really... it was just that she had more control of her breathing. She didn't go into that uncontrolled 'panic' mode of breathing which is really inefficient.
Anyways. Enough Talk. No running tomorrow. But Saturday, it's on.
