Workout #16 And he ran once more

Image
Overview This evening I went for a run. I decided to push myself by going for even longer than last time. That question will remain a mystery as I forgot to take a before or after picture. However, I can confirm that the cost was quite a lot as my heartrate will soon show. It felt a bit empty without a picture of me though, so here's a picture of me writing this now. FITT Guidelines Frequency:  I did two cardio exercises this week. Intensity:  The intensity of the run was high. The speed of the run was 6 km/hr with a short 3 km/hr warm up. (The 3 km/hr warm up was not included in the time or distance of the treadmill) My BPM was 168. Time:  The duration of the run was 30 minutes with a 3 minute walk as a warm up. Type:  The type of exercise performed here is a run or cardio.

Overview On this date I went on a walk with a close friend of mine. The picture was taken before the walk and none were taken after the walk, however, I can confirm the smile lasted the whole walk.

Time:  The duration of the walk was around 30 minutes.  Type:  The type of exercise performed here is a walk or cardio.
