Low HR Training

Losing the Blubber...cooling the core... (Read 2314 times)

    Continuing my penchant for unnecessary precision, I weighed in at 157.7, which is down 0.9 pounds from my last weigh in a week ago.  My mileage is down as a result of PF last week and starting a new job this week, but the weight still seems headed in the right direction.

       Jimmy,

       

      Do you take the shots in the arm or buttocks?

         Jimmy,

         

        Do you take the shots in the arm or buttocks?

         

        I shout "clear." Then it's half a shot on each side of the spare tire.

        Hopefully, no spare tire gunk shoots (liquid Twinkie) in anyone's eye.

            On I go, extricating myself from the warm, comfy Sea Of Blubber,

                Monday weigh in, one day late (Week 4)

                177.8lbs (start 184.8)

                 

                 

                Down 2.2 this week.  Missed a swim workout, but got the running and cycling in.  Had my first open water swim, really need to get more of them under my belt!  Everything still a go.  172 is within my sights...

                  Beating me by .2 lbs, JD. Then again, I don't have one of those newfangled

                  scales with that new technology I think they call "digital." Mine just has

                  a red pointer that points to little lines between large numbers. An upgrade

                  from my last rudimentary scale of sitting on one side of a teeter totter while 

                  my wife sat on the other side holding 1 lb. bags of kiwi.

                   

                  Keep going!

                    The core is cooling:  157.0 tonight.  I can't believe it.  155 was my "you gotta be kidding me" goal for the fall and I'm only two pounds away while running less mileage.  I'm just hoping the lower mileage doesn't catch up to me and I can keep my weight down until the weather cools.

                      I had an interesting week. I ran a 5k last Monday. The days following the race, I ended

                      up eating more fat and protein than I have beed doing. Letting my carbs fall way

                      below 50% of calories. By Thursday, I was getting bitchy, and completely famished.

                      My runs on Thursday and Friday weren't my best. Typical glycogen depletion.

                      I spent the weekend tanking up on carbs and fluids. Finally, by Sunday afternoon

                      I felt satiated. I had a good heart time recovery run and yoga/strength workout

                      at the end of the day. I have to stick to that 55% carbs, or I pay for it. Especially

                      after a hard race.

                        Down 0.6 this week.  Missed a swim workout (again!), but got the running and cycling in.  Ran a 5k for my anaerobic work for the week, rode the bike for 32 miles on Sunday, my longest ride yet, and I think I found my happy place during my open water swim on Thursday. 

                         

                        Time to refocus for the week, get my diet under control, and resist drinking in excess during the events throughout Philly Beer Week...

                          Jimmy-  If you are like my house hold, only one bitchy person at a time.  Glad you feel better.

                           

                          jdazzle- nothing wrong with a little beer and time out from the diet.....unless it continues for a year.

                                wt  201

                                ran twice last week

                                 

                                Is there solice in not gaining with minimal running?  Does yardwork count as low hr training?

                                I have noticed less back fat.  I think I am still trading fat for muscle, but I am not so good at keeping measurable stats.

                                 

                                My ultra goal is on hold for now until the 5 month old starts sleeping through the night..along with the two toddlers sleeping past 6:30!!  At least the baby carrier strap on (Bjorn) is giving me a back and leg strength work out.
