About a week or so ago I set the record for most calories burned in an hour before 6am. Today, I was on pace to break that record. As once again, I got off to a blistering pace. When I burned 723 calories in thirty minutes I was on pace to burn 1446 calories in an hour.With the record set on Day 1083 at 1416 per hour I was a cinch to burn 1417 and beyond but I ran out of energy.
I had a strong pace. After 40 minutes of the workout I had burned 952 calories. With the magic number of 1416 staring me in the face I only needed to burn 465 calories in the last 20 minutes to break the record. I finished by burning 1396 calories in the hour. It left me 21 calories short of the record.
Check this out, I was averaging a calorie burn of 23.8 per minute for the first 40 minutes. In that last twenty minutes my calories burn per minute went down to a 22.2 calorie burn per minute. My overall cbpm(calorie burn per minute) for sixty minutes was 23.27, ouch. Had I maintained the pace I had at forty minutes I would have burned 1428 calories per hour.
One step further, to show how I could have easily burned more than 1417 calories in the hour was my earlier pace where I burned 723 calories in the first thirty minutes. At the thirty minute mark I was on pace to burn 1446 calories per hour. BUMMER!
I just love it! The first 30 minutes and even the last thirty. It is just a pleasure to get on the machine and let it rip!
I once told someone about this streak I was on and his reply was "its a blessing."
I am fortunate and I do feel, truly blessed.
Day 1089 - burn more than 1396 in the hour.
I am ready, here it comes.....
