Is this even possible? 1000 calories burned in 65 min?
I just got a new heart rate monitor (Timex) and am not sure I believe the results. I just ran 6.3 miles in about 65 minutes (that includes a 5 minute cooldown) and it said I burned 1033 calories. I'm 27, 149 lbs. Is that possible? I always thought it was approx 100 calories per mile. Thanks!
First 5k this week... any advice?
I'm running in my very first 5k this Friday. Any advice on what to expect, what I should do this week to prepare for it, and what I should eat the day of? The race is at 6pm after work. I've been running on the treadmill for a few months but have usually avoided outdoor running due to bad knees.
