| Ive been going gym for quite a while and i do my cardio 3 times a week and then weights in between (5 days). My run consists of: 15 mins at a gentle ish jog (speed 9 whatever that is on the treadmill), then 5 mins sprint (speed 16) then 5 mins at speed 9 again,then 15 mins at speed 10, then a 15 min cool down. This kills me but i want to do more, as ive got to a point where this doesnt do anything for me anymore. Ive tried going to 45 mins but i stopped at 43 mins lol i couldnt do anymore. How effective is the incline at 1 or maybe 2, what will this work specifically? Also what does everyone else do at the gym in terms of cardio? am i doing to much cardio? im getting bored of my workout and im just doing weights this week with higher reps lower weight. I need some good workouts though so i dont get bored? arghhhh not these stupid robot thingy me bobbies, any real answers |

| 7km in 40 min is good - this translates to a 2hr pace for a half-marathon.The way you vary your pace is also very good for improving fitness and for fat burning. An incline between 1 to 2 simulates outdoor running more than 0, power walking up a steep incline is also good and gets your heart rate up.Maybe you could use the other cardio machines - 20 min cycling, 20 min elliptical, 10 min rowing for example or a spinning class. That way you would be using different muscles.Also you could go swimming or try classes at your gym like body pump which focus on weights.To push yourself a good idea would be to sign up for a race - it could be 5k, 10k half or full marathon depending on what you prefer.This is a really great motivation for pushing yourself - I'm training for a half-marathon at the moment and find training is easier if you have a goal in mind.If you don't want to run for too much longer then a 5k or 10k would be good, you could focus on improving your time by increasing endurance - longer runs and improving your speed with interval training.I don't think you are doing too much cardio and doing weights in between seems like a good balance. |
