I have recently gotten back on the treadmill along with eating
Last night after we came home from my son's game, I was a little frustrated for various reasons. It was later than I would have liked, but I got my butt on that treadmill to run out some of my frustration and it helped a lot. I warmed up for 5 min (about .25mi) and then just started running. Set my pace and kept trucking on. When I looked down I had run to 1.25 miles which means that I ran a full mile without stopping. I was so excited! I walked for a little bit and then ran a little bit more until I reached 2 miles. By this point it was probably 10:00p so I decided to stop. It sure did feel good! I woke up today and before I had eaten anything (except a banana), wanted to get on the treadmill to run some more. Wait, WHAT?? Did I just say what I think I just said? ;)
Again, I warmed up for 5 min, set my pace and started running. This morning I ran to 1.50 miles, which means I actually ran 1.25 miles without stopping. YA HOO!! Kept my mind focused on a few things and before I knew it, I was there. Seems like it went by so fast. For the last .25 miles (to 2 miles) I put the treadmill on an incline of 6 and worked it! I could feel the burning in my legs and it actually was a good burn.
It's kind of amazing when you focus on something in particular instead of just randomly thinking while exercising. Will have to do that more often!
Question: Does it matter what time of day you walk/run? Is there a better time as far as burning the most calories? Or is it all personal preference?
Hope you guys are having a wonderful day! Mine has been good so far! :)
