28 Day Challenge - Day 11

11 days and still going strong. I cant help but think, WTAF?!?

11 consecutive days in the gym and to be completely honest, I've not been slacking. I think the biggest eye opener was comparing it to the average of 3 or 4 days I was doing per week and realising that ive done around 3 weeks of training in 11 days and still feeling great.

The biggest achievement in the last 11 days though, was putting in my first 1,000 calorie session on the treadmill.

I was absolutely buzzing breaking that barrier!

Secondly, in the space of 2 weeks I can tell I'm getting fitter. The treadmills in the gym have heart rate sensors on. When I started running my heart rate was up around mid to high 160bpm. At points tipping over the 170bpm mark.

During my runs over the past 24 hours, my heart rate has averaged around 155-158bpm.
