Week 6/Run 1

[saul01]

Hi folks,

What a day! None stop all day at work and then the electrician (who was due to turn up between 1-5pm) turned up at 7.45pm there goes my running slot !

Still, had a quick snack, put the kids to bed, on with the running kit and off I went. Felt more tiring than normal, maybe due to the late time but overall an enjoyable run.

It's funny how you start feeling really put out when something gets in the way of your run isn't it! Glad you managed to fit it in. I was looking at the calories you burned......I run a similar time to you - 5k in 37 minutes but I only burn between 264 to 278 calories. I am wondering why that is, do you know how it's worked out?

I have this thing of when starting something new I tend to go a bit ott and regimental over it. Good side you learn fast, bad side can be annoying to others.

I don't know how the app calculates calories, as my previous runs have been around the 350kcal's. Haven't done anything different.

Great run - that 3rd k was super speedy. You'd be lapping me by the time you graduate

[misswobble Graduate]

Calorie burn depends on how heavy you are. The heavier you are the more calories you burn.

Well done Saul!
