Strava for me.
-
No. If your goal is to maximize calorie burn, long not-to-hard runs are where it's at.
-
Nowhere near that. Somewhere in the 75 cal range, for a normal sized person. Half that, if they can't run 5k.
-
8/23: 13km run Totals Bike: 310km/300km DONE! :drinker: Run: 92.5km/88km Swim: 0/6400m Rest day! Woohoo!

I suggest a few weeks of consistent logging, and maybe opening your diary, before investing in expensive classes.
-
And yet, oddly, the single most common characteristic in people who keep the weight off is... ...regular, vigorous exercise. Sorry, that advice is flat out wrong.

8/22: 51km ride Totals Bike: 310km/300km DONE! :drinker: Run: 79.5km/88km Swim: 0/6400m Tomorrow is long run day, so I'll be hitting that, do. But it's gonna hurt....

At this point, it's about as tightly defined as "clean eating". :tongue:

It has nothing to do with "willingness" - you *can't* do HIIT everyday without damaging your body. That's inherent to the definition of "HI".
-
No, it's really not. Tabata is the ultimate in HIIT, so lets look at that. It consists of half a dozen 20 second intervals separated by (pick an interval) a minute of rest. The complete cycle is 120 seconds of maximum effort (which burns something) and six minutes of rest (which burns next to nothing). In that 8 minutes,…

13 * 45 seconds @ 8mph -> 585/3600 * 8 -> 1.3 miles of running -> 0.8 calories/pound bodyweight Plus a downfactor if it was on a treadmill.
-
I'm guessing you're using an HRM, because that burn number is massively over-inflated. Massively.
-
Depends on your goals. Balanced fitness needs both. No. If the main goal is calorie burn, nothing beats steady state running.

8.21: 7.5km run Totals Bike: 259km/300km Run: 79.5km/88km Swim: 0/6400m Sat/Sun are long ride, long run days...I'll have hit the targets by Monday.
-
It would be helpful to know what your actual goals are...
-
I'd rather have Kate Moss's quote then the ridiculousness coming out of the FA movement...
-
13 miles at 150 pounds is about 1200 calories.

Did my first sprint this past spring - in training for a half-Iron next spring. :drinker:

8/20: 20km ride (fast) Totals Bike: 259km/300km Run: 62km/88km Swim: 0/6400m

Very well done...! :drinker:
-
No, I'm afraid you missed the point. Which is that "normal" ketosis in a pregnant woman often produces unintended ketoacidosis in the gestating fetus. But there's also a feedback loop that will shunt resources to the fetus to minimize this, and you can end up with ketoacidosis in both mother and child.
-
I wouldn't necessarily call 80-ish a "high" cadence, and that should be reachable by any amateur on anything up to a 5% grade (unless it's really long). But if someone is targeting Armstrong (and dare I say it...Froome) style spinning where you're at 100-ish going up Ventoux, it's worth keeping in mind that Lance's doping…
-
*Raises hand* Yep! Another former clydesdale here - that was my experience as well. The path out for me was taking one of my weekly rides and just hammering cadence, and not worrying about distance. It basically became an interval session - hammer, pant for a while, hammer, pant for a while. Plus make at least one of the…

They've been done in humans, too. You can "stand by" whatever you want - fact is ketosis causes poor health outcomes in our offspring. If that isn't enough to meet your definition of "necessary", then we are operating under vastly different definitions.
-
If you're using an HRM for calories from walks, you're using it wrong, and have highly highly inflated numbers. But hey...this is MFP...believe what you like.
-
If leaving something out causes negative health outcomes, it fits the real world definition of "necessary". http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4231349/ Yes, carbs are necessary for humans.
