Tuesday
Day 7 of OVT
Cardio and Full Body Stretching
i did cardio a little differently and a lot more interestingly today...
instead of the regular 15 minutes run, i decided to focus more on distance covered rather than time...
therefore, what i did was: i RAN on the treadmill for 1 kilometre 3 times... yes, that means that in all i ran 3 kilometres today
RUN 1 = 1 km = 80 kcals
first 200 metres @ 9.0 km/h
next 500 mteres @ 11.0 km/h
next 100 metres @ 6.0 km/h
last 200 metres @ 15.0 km/h (sprint)
RUN 2 = 1 km = 83 kcals
first 200 metres @ 9.0 km/h
next 500 metres @ 11.5 km/h
next 100 metres @ 6.5 km/h
last 200 metres @ 16.0 km/h
RUN 3 = 1 km = 97 kcals
first 300 metres @ 6.5 km/h
next 500 metres @ 12.5 km/h
last 200 metres @ 20.0 km/h
incase you are wondering: did i stop the machine to adjust the speeds...? well, no... as soon as the reading said 700 m (left to cover), i bumped up the speed accordingly...
Overall Impression
new cardio session
completed 1 week of OVT
burnt 250 kcals running 3 km
pretty amazing
will try for a 4 km next time (thursday)
