Okie, I don't understand why Blogger won't let me click on the Title section.

7-10-7

I'm going to Niagra Falls tomorrow InshAllah, so this was probably the last workout of the week.
NB857 additional mileage = 3.3miles in about 33 mins (including 5 mins warmup/cooldown and about two minutes of walking in between) + 30 mins elliptical

In zone = 41.10
Av/Peak/Min HR = 170/194/131
Calories = 1409
Total time = 1:07:00
Recover 1 min = 166-118

Felt harder than yesterday. I could barely keep the elliptical machine moving. Still didn't manage to go through the treadmill workout without taking a two minute walk-break

If you only looked at this blog, it seems as if I've been very irregular with exercise. Untrue. I had pain in my knees and ankles earlier (probably because the Nikes were old), and so I was getting a lot of swimming/racquetball/biking/Elliptical machine/weight-training done. The upshot is that I have lost about ten pounds over the last two to three months, and I'm feeling the fittest I've been in a long time.

First NB-857 run: 3.2k on the treadmill

Correction: Oops, it was 3.2 miles, not kms. Can't fix the title. Don't know what's wrong with Blogger

Notes:

So the new shoes finally came under use. I don't know if its because my old shoes were so old or these new ones are so great, but the run felt so easy, and didn't stress my feet.

I did have to slow down to a walk for a couple of minutes in between to allow my HR to slow down. But otherwise, I felt in good shape by the grace of God.

Conversely, my recently repaired watch doesn't seem to have been repaired properly. I miss the good old days when it wasn't so messed up.

Later, I jumped on an elliptical trainer for another 30 mins.

Total Time = 1:03:00
In zone: 38:42
Av, Peak, Min HR = 149/192/75 (including changeover from treadmill to elliptical)
Calories = 1576

Ran on the treadmill for the first time - not too comfortable an experience. I am always afraid I will fall off if I go to fast.

Speed: 6 km/hr (upto 8km/hr in the last 2 minutes)
Distance: 1 km
Time: 10 mins
Max Heart-rate: 126
Weight: 65 kgs/145 lbs
Mileage on Nikes: 160 km (same as before. Ran in my socks!)

Not much of a run, but it was cold outside and I wouldn't have run at all if it weren't for this, so chalta hai I guess. Ran only on my toes. Felt this one in my calves. Need to improve my running action.
