Guest guest Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 (there must be a million posts titled " ---day's workout " ) I had planned on running two miles again, but very shortly into it I felt my heart rate was way too high. It was! I'm pretty sure it was because of donating blood yesterday. The fluids should all be replaced by now, but I just don't " bounce back " like I used to... I ended up doing a power walk instead. I played with the settings on the treadmill to see how they affected my heart rate. I got some rather interesting data from that. A change of .2 mph can make a steady change of around 5-7 beats per minute. Of course, that may all be different on any given day. It does sort of keep things in perspective, though. I walked 2 miles at an average of about 3.5 mph. My HRM said I burned 686 calories, although that seems awfully high for a 2 mile walk! (Maybe because of the blood donation?) Hope I'm back to " normal " by tomorrow! Indyrose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
