Cardio Day
I have a goal… it may not be lofty to some, but to me it kinda is.
I used to run a six minute mile in grade nine. That was many years ago, and six minutes wasn’t a lot then, really… but at least I completed it. Today, a six minute mile is out of the question, for now, anyway.
I want to complete 5k in a short period of time. Not sure on a goal time yet, but my first goal is to do it non-stop running.
Here’s how today panned out on the treadmill:
Distance: 3.1 miles
Time: 42:10 - this included a five minute walking warm up. I alternated 3.5mph walk with a 5.5mph run. I am pleased to report it was mostly running today.
HR: top was 145bpm
With a four minute cool down my total distance was 3.31 miles. I burned 435 calories.
I followed that mess up with 13/12 burpees and medicine ball slams (11lbx20×3) and some stretching.
We’ll see what my knees think of today tomorrow.
