Exercise

This week I exercised every day. I thought I would start keeping notes on my exercise (I was going to say program) but really better defined as 'activities'. There was a time when I kept detail information on distances, pace, heart rate, morning heart rate, blood pressure, etc and graphed and analysed the heck out of the data. It was a great motivation at the time to do so. Recently this has kind of fallen by the way side for one reason or another. I have decided that I can substitute all that data keeping and analysis with an occasional blog entry.
Currently I walk/run 1hour a day, sometimes supplemented with an additional 1/2 hour on the stationary bike.
Walk/Run Distance = 6.5 klm (4 miles) This equates to 6.5 x 6 = 39 klm/week (24 miles/week)
45 klm/weekKCals = 520
Currently I walk/run according to how I feel rather than any particular goal. Using this approach I aim to get up to my 10k race pace of 10 klm/hr over the next couple of months.
I think 39 klm/week is a good base, so as I increase my pace I will also increase the number of rest days.
