Usually I'll get most of my exercise in around the weekend but this weekend coming I'm away to Manchester to watch the footy. So I've got to plan ahead and try to fit a bit more cardio in through the week.
Monday - Recovery day/break from the bike, so played 50mins of squash with Andy from work. We're both fairly novice (polite way of putting it) so there's quite a bit of chasing the ball around. Good for spiking the heart rate. Guess 400 kcal burn.
Tuesday - Looks like it will be good for a cycle to work (courtesy of BBC weather and some negotiating with the better half). That will clock up 23 miles all in. That will likely be my usual interval training with a few sprint sections and a few easy spin sections. That should be 1,000 kcal in the bank.
Wednesday - As per bargaining agreements for cycling on Tuesday, I've pulled nursery drop off and pick up duties. So I'll try to get up early and get a 5k run done before work. Guess 300 kcal.
Thursday - 30min spin before work followed by an 60min spin after work. That should be combined 800 kcal.
Friday - A negotiated commute should get some fresh air in the lungs and another 1,000 kcal burned off.
Saturday - Will be an early depart and a 6 hour drive. A very early 10k run should get the blood pumping and circa 600 kcal bagged.
Sunday - Will hopefully start with a hangover so maybe place an order for room service and nip out for a 20min jog round the streets while tea and toast gets brought up. 250kcal burn, maybe enough to compensate for one of the previous night's pints!
Estimated 4,350 kcal burn for the week. But more importantly, more miles in the tank!
