After struggling a little working out how to do it, I eventually managed to get a new Facebook page up - "Run a mile each day".
Completed day 75 of a mile each day this morning.
When the weather's like this sometimes it seems a shame to go so early and miss the warmth of the sun, but it does work so well to get the day off to a great start. Running later would somehow be trickier in helping the rest of the day flow.
Another couple of quotes from "Born To Run" - "Nearly all runners do their slow runs too fast and their fast runs too slow... So they're just training their bodies to burn sugar, which is the last thing a distance runner wants."
The second quote is "The way to activate your fat-burning furnace is by staying below your aerobic threshold - your hard-breathing point..."
So that seems to confirm that my running with Nicky, below my aerobic threshold, is actually good for me. Not that I would consider myself a distance runner at this point in time!
Well that's all well and good for you, but I can't actually run without being above my aerobic threshold, so while you're burning fat, I'm gasping for breath and achieving, what exactly?!
