ChristArtist Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 BACKGROUND:I have not been able to walk consistently for quite a while...since I messed up my knee on the recumbent bike in August(don't ask).It had gotten so bad that I didn't even go shopping with WildRoss, or even girl friends! (oh my!)My MO was to walk as fast as I had when I was doing 5k's and training for a mini TRI - and I would burn out, and hurt for days. I had been working on walking with a cart/buggy in stores, with that stop and start type of walking...but I had not tried a 'distance' walk.It was my goal to be able to walk 1 mile in 3 months(like, April) - trying to keep my expectations low. My goal this challenge was to walk w/o pain...or just to walk 10-15 minutes, even if I had to do it 5 minutes at a time! While reading some threads last night, I noticed one about I think, fasting low intensity activity to burn fat...to walk keeping the HR in the fat burning rate. The dog needs to bee walked in the morning.I am fasting when I get up.If I keep my HR in the fat burning range, I won't walk too fast.The dog will be very happy. So - I tried it.....Distance 1.18 milesTime: 30:59speed a little faster than 2 mph!!!HR started to lower(I need to work on endurance/HR because of the uber sedentary lifestyle).Dog (Gabriel) is VERY HAPPY! I WALKED A MILE AND DIDN'T HURT MYSELF!!!LOOK MA! NO CART/BUGGY! If I can keep this up, I can walk at the T4 meet up in Dallas! 1 Quote In His hands and Under His wings, Phil 4:13; Is 40:31; Jer 29:11 Adventurer by choice Link to comment
