    Isn't that a shame... Think I earned the name CandiPants for nothing?

    Would you think I can read your mind? Should I smack you for that other thought?

    so can someone tell me what the purpose of a cool down walk is after a run?
  • DawnVanSlim

    Will this answer your question?

    After any aerobic activity, the blood is pooled in the extremities, and the heartrate is elevated. The purpose of the cool-down is to bring the heartrate down to near-normal and to get the blood circulating freely back to the heart. Stopping abruptly could result in fainting or place undue stress on the heart. The cool-down should also include stretching to help relax the muscles which worked so hard during the activity. The cool-down stretches also increase flexibility, and might help to prevent DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) although this has not been proven.

    so a cool down walk should be less brisk?

    182. Is that a little too high?

    No, thats not bad at all for your age. I try to keep mine in the 160-170's when I run. That is the most comfortable for me. But I always get in the 180's at the very end of my run or when I am running hills. Just need to make sure I can get it back down out of the 180's after those hills or my run will be doomed. My 6 miler I was in the 160's almost the entire time and I think that is why I cleared that distance. Someday I hope to be able to run in the 150-160 for all my runs. It will improve the more you do it. I have even gotten up to 192 before when I did my sprints, but felt like I was going to pass out. It's a cool thing to be able to monitor when you run, isn't it?
  • It really is amazing to be able to monitor it! I love this little thing. I got up to 182 on the last...3 minutes of my run when I really had to push it. I'm addicted to running now! 13.1 here I come! Want to join?

    Not sure I will ever be able to run that distance, but it is a long term dream/goal of mine. I would love to join you. Did you know my next mini goal is running a 10K come spring? I have run 6 5K races this summer, need to bump up that milage now, don't you think?
