More calorie burn with Strength Training: Run before

CoraGregoryCPA

I realized today that if I run 1 mile before strength training then I burn 568 calories (total workout time=1hr and 15 mins), instead of running 1 mile after strength training and burning 379 calories (total workout time=1hr and 15 mins).

According to my heart rate monitor, if I run before strength training it keeps my heart rate up slightly higher than not running before hand creating more calorie burn

And yes, my strength training program was the same as any other day.

I've never tried running after strength training, but I can attest that it helps to run before. I just got my HRM this past weekend and my heart rate is staying around 25 to 30 bpm higher than if I didn't do cardio that session.
