But The Good News Is...
Yup, I finally got one.
I burned 511 calories this morning -- 45% from fat. For 49:51 minutes of work (beginning at 5:07 AM) I spent 14:46 minutes in the 144-160 beats per minute range; with my heart rate topping out at 178 (93% of my maximum for the "moderate training zone"). My average heart rate was 151 for the duration (79% of my maximum). The alarm cued me when to step it up and also when to back it down so I could keep on a better training track.
Apparently, I've been working too hard in the past. Because just as the HRM was yelling at me to back down, I was thinking, "Geez, touchy thingie! I can go way harder and higher than this!" But if it improves my stamina, all the better. (And for those of you who are wondering: No, this is not for weight loss. It's all about the fun and healthy bod. I can't have a fun bod without knowing how to tweak it correctly.)
