I have been working out very consistently 5-7 days a week since my last triathlon and I'm feeling great! Not losing any weight yet, gained a few in fact. But I'm feeling strong and energetic.
I started logging all of my calories to get a grip on what I was eating and how to start managing it better. Unfortunately, I haven't done a great job on the weekends, so I'll have to keep working on that. I went out for a run this morning and had an idea for something I'd like to try for a while. I run usually 3-4 times a week currently and at least once on the weekend, but I'm having a hard time identifying progress.
So whilst running on the track today, I thought it might be a great idea to do a 5K every weekend and log my stats and see how I progress. Today I started out on my regular walk/run intervals and had this epiphany mid-run, so today's run will be a little different, but it's a start. Also, I measured the 5K by running 12 laps on the outer-most lane and this is what the stats will be on. I also did 1 each of a warm up and cool down lap. I'm wondering how much of a difference there is between the inner lane and the outer one? I'll have to look that one up.
Anyways, here's the stats for this week's 5K: time: 42:31, average heart rate (AHR): 148, calories burned: 442.
