Friday: AM Easy & PM Trail Run

5/31/2013

I didn't plan to run twice today, but my aunt offered to walk Finn down to the playground at lunch and I took the opportunity to go for an easy run on Grist Mill Road in Keene.

AM: 3 easy road.

It was over 90 degrees in the sun, so for my evening run I decided to hit the trails for the shade and breeze up high. The Nundagao Ridge isn't very runnable but it's close to home and I was OK with a slow pace. Still, every time I do it I forget how overgrown and not conducive to running it is. Better as a leisurely hike.

PM: 5.5 easy trail.

I'm psyched to be feeling this good in my "recovery" week. My mileage should end up being around 60, which is more than I'd planned, but with only two more weeks until the 10-day hiking camp I think I can afford to push myself.

Total Miles: 8.5mi
Weekly So Far: 40mi

It's interesting the estimated calories burned in comparison to some of your runs. Is it just guessing off pace per mile/ elevation? Your body probably burned a bunch cooling itself down from the heat too.

I just looked into it. Garmin has several algorithms, and the one it's using here is the least accurate since I don't wear the heart rate monitor. It's based on speed and distance (no elevation) and is obviously low here since it thinks I did 5 flat miles at 13min pace.

If I wore the HRM it would know what kind of effort I was putting in and would be able to more accurately calculate calories. I don't care about calorie calculations at all. If I gain weight I've been eating too much, if I lose weight I need to eat more.
