[QUOTE="mekalu2k4, post: 1053579, member: 171561"] ?? Gr8, impressive. I never got beyond 70minutes - whatever I did. Yesterday I was talking one of my pals [a retd seal, disabled, wheel chair born] in my street. I told him that I will run daily, will do that, do this, blah blah; and I just go by my smart watch. He simply replied "yes, I also go by my smart watch to stop after burning 1000 calories - every morning". I didn't know what to say, just remained mum, felt ashamed. The max I burnt is about 800c in a day, but that is rare for me. I usually get past 500 only when I do my 5k runs. Ok, coming to my lill workout this morning - [ATTACH=full]17601[/ATTACH] So started at 6am and did two workouts - slow running [18min, avg HR-113 which is low] and then stopped, came back to home to check on my daughter and then did some body weight workouts which are like easy. No high intensity today, as it is really cold out here. Please note that garmin watch has only few options [I may be wrong, I do not explore the device or software much], there is no option to put like 'walking' etc. So do not think that I really 'run' for 18 minutes, it is really kind of brisk walk. This can be seen from HR max and avgs of different runs I did. For your verification, I put the listing. Previous runs have higher HRs indicating that I was really running and not walking like a lazy duck today. Summing up - today I could 'kill' some 44 minutes in lazy workouts - could burn 450 calories. [/QUOTE]
