I tried running incline intervals again. I can't decide if it was harder or easier than the first time. Maybe about the same. I didn't try to do anything at 10% this time and I did a short stretch after my warmup (go me!). So the overall time was longer 30 minutes at 5.0 mph or higher. I set it up as rest-incline-rest-incline-rest-rest with each segment being 5 minutes. The incline segments were 5.0 mph at 5% incline and the rest segments were half 5.0 and half 5.5 mph. Then I did a 5 minute cool down (4.5 - 3.5 mph). Total of 3.38 miles in 40 minutes brunging 430 calories. Then I went to the 30 minute Ab Attack fitness class. It was fun but I was just so tired all day yesterday (even before the running).
Workout Summary for the day: incline interval running total of 3.38 miles in 40 minutes burning 430 calories + 25 min Ab Attack class
I started having more protein shakes yesterday. Alex found a recommendation of 1g protein/kg of body mass which puts me at ~70 g of protein a day. On a 3-veggie burger day I'm lucky to get 50g. We'll see if I can keep choking down the shakes. They are not particularly appetizing. But the ones I have now are at least better than the Pea Protein powder I had before (I actually threw out more than half of it it was so horrifically bad tasting). It makes me shudder just thinking about it. Guh.
Yes, pea powder does sound horrifying.
