Hard Core Fitness Maniacs for Wed Aug 24

Today I did those intervals that I did from last week that I got from a friends blog only this time I did them all at 5 mph and I did all 12 intervals! :eek:

Holy crap was this a puke status workout. At first I told myself I'd get 6 intervals done and then stop. Well, I could not stop, even though I really wanted to. I needed to see if I could do all of these intervals at 5 and I did! I am so excited!

Each interval took 3 minutes and I took a 1 min. 30 second rest in between. That certainly wasn't enough rest. I was doing the rests at 3 mph but had to drop it to 2.5 after the 6th interval. I just could not get my HR to come down at 3.

All in all I did great and I am very proud of myself. I never thought I could do intervals like this. I have to say, each and every one of them were hard for me. Even the first few. By the time I got to #9 I was really wondering if I could get the last 3 done. I had to go inside myself and concentrate on not running spastically. I find once my breath starts to get heavy, I start running like a manic idiot. So I slowed down and ran with the treadmill and that helped a lot. It was still hard, though. Loved it!

HR STATS:
65 minutes total
6 minutes below zone
8 minutes in zone
53 minutes above zone
578 calories

I think that is the highest amount of calories I have ever burned with one workout. Too cool!
