2.74

This morning I went out for a short walk/run. According to my GPS it was 2.74 miles give or take a few feet. I averaged a speed of 3.8 miles per hour. What's in between is the important thing. I warmed up with a 2 minute walk followed by a 5 minute run. After which I did eight (8) all out wind sprints. The whole thing took only about 30 minutes in which I used 457 calories.

This type of workout burns more fat than just running or walking at a steady pace (so I've been reading). In any case my regular runs do feel easier because of the sprinting of workout. I'm happy to report that my beautiful wife is on the bandwagon. She is doing kettlebells and walk/fast walks with me thrice per week :-). Other friends at work may be infected as well or soon they will be.
