This morning I was up at 5.30 am, and 20 minutes I was doing my five mile off-road fasted run on the local farm fields, although I picked a new one to do as it looked like common land.
It had a downward slope to the back of the land, and naturally I picked up pace only to run into a very grassy area where it was as much stinging nettles as there were grass......ouch.
Other than that it was a decent run, and I did it with the backpack, that I had slung some clothing into to give it some weight but not too much.
The real test is to repeat it tomorrow at 5.30 am and then again on Thursday morning.
Yesterday, according to Garmin Connect (Exercise) and My Fitness Pal (Food eaten), I consumed 1751 calories out of an target 1840 but in addition the 10,000 steps meant I had burnt an additional 208 calories, so I was under my target by just under 300 calories.
Today it is currently (with no intention to eat more before bed) 2490 calories consumed so 650 over target but because I ran 5 miles, I am allowed an extra 775 calories plus another 80 for steps walked, so I am under target by 200 calories.
It should noted that I resisted temptation to eat a fresh cream cake at work, only because a colleague reminded me of my challenge to not eat cakes, otherwise it would have been well over target......
