New 5k PR

Picked this up on Sunday -


Didn't feel too bad afterward, and my average heart rate was 163 or so which was about 15 beats below my average when I ran in July, and this was about 1:30 faster.  The weather was about perfect though, maybe a little on the cool side, would have been good to have running sleeves instead of running with a long sleeve shirt.  Less sun though probably helped keep the heart rate down.  I was also probably 5-7 pounds lighter than I was in July so that should have helped.  Still need to drop about 20 more pounds, that should help get the time down more especially if I can hold on to muscle.  I think what I am doing is working just a matter of grinding some more and putting work in.

Travel Chronicles Chapter 12


It's Chapter 12, even though I say 11.  Today we talk about morning routines.

My routine if I had time and wasn't rushed for anything:
1) Wim Hof Breathing.
2) 10 min. meditation
3) Cold shower (start warm and end cold)
4) Breakfast or skip this step for now
5) Yoga
6) Quick weight lifting

Travel Chronicles Chapter 11

Talking today about weight loss and a couple of things that have helped me lose 30 lbs. over 4 years and 17 lbs. over the last year.  TLDW:
- Be honest with how many calories you are actually in taking.
- Use more calories than you intake, but don't starve yourself.  Your body will actually burn up muscle first if you aren't using the muscles and preferentially hold on to fat (crazy right, come on body do what I want).
- Any weight loss is going to starting by changing your routine.  I hate the word diet, because those are temporary.  You got into the situation you are in because of how you are eating and how you are living.  If you want to lose weight and keep it off you have to make a lifestyle change.
- Fat comes off easiest with aerobic exercise or exercise where the heart rate is in Zone 2 -3. A high heart rate will push you anaerobic and it will just burn up glycogen stores.
