Training Day Three

Category: TrainingShane W. @ 12:44 am

In my third day of training for the 5k here are the stats…

  • Total Time: 00:30:46
  • Time In-Zone: 00:6:28
  • Average Heart Rate: 142 BPM
  • Peak Heart Rate: 185 BPM
  • Minimum Heart Rate: 115 BPM
  • Estimated Calories Burned: 467
  • Total Distance: 2.1 Mi

Looks like I spent most of my time in HR zone 3 instead of zone 2 which isn’t a bad thing. I’m not sure yet but I’m thinking about adding some riding instead of weight training on my off days to improve my running endurance so that I can maintain a sustained run for the full time I’m supposed to spend running.

Second Training Session for the 5k Run

Category: TrainingShane W. @ 12:50 am

In my second day of training for the 5k here are the stats…

  • Total Time: 00:40:18
  • Time In-Zone: 00:25:40
  • Average Heart Rate: 134 BPM
  • Peak Heart Rate: 182 BPM
  • Minimum Heart Rate: 117 BPM
  • Estimated Calories Burned: 554
  • Total Distance: 2.4 Mi

Looks like everything is coming together nicely on the walking/jogging path right now. In order to keep things mixed up and increase the number of days a week I spend working out I’m going to do some upper body stuff at the gym on my off days to balance the running.

In addition to this I’ve been eating raw food for 4/5 meals a day pretty consistently. I’ll be posting some information on that here in the future to share what I’ve learned on the matter.

First Blog, First Training Session

Category: TrainingShane W. @ 2:27 am

In my first day of training for the 5k here are the stats…

  • Total Time: 00:26:00
  • Time In-Zone: 00:20:46
  • Average Heart Rate: 165 BPM
  • Peak Heart Rate: 191 BPM
  • Minimum Heart Rate: 142 BPM
  • Estimated Calories Burned: 482
  • Total Distance: 1.8 Mi

Had it not started to rain I would have continued another 0.2 Mi rounding out to 30 minutes of jogging/walking. I would say that compared to the aggressive training plan that I am ahead of schedule because I jogged between 3 and 5 minutes of the total time.
