treadmill training...


i've been on track this week and hit the gym twice - on top of my usual kung fu training. i walk at the highest incline possible - 15% - at a pace of about 4.5 - 5 km/h for about 45 minutes. doesn't sound like much but i promise you break a major sweat... according to the highly accurate calorie counter ;-p i burn up to 670 calories per hour!

the treadmill is hhhmmm - smooth - so i also walk sideways and backwards for a minute at a time to engage my muscles and simulate the rough terrain we are likely to encounter on the wall. i think it's helping - we'll see.

adam if you are reading this AND all the techie stuff worked, would you let me know what our average pace was on our practice walk? i'm crossing my fingers that it was no more than 4.5 km/hr :-)
