yeah, I've heard conflicting reports re: how many calories to consume so I'm confused. I walk at 3.6 for 5minutes, jog at 4.0 for 10 minutes and then finish the 2 miles at 3.5 or 3.6 - I know I need to change it up, just not sure how right now. here's another thing, I could go longer if my damn calves wouldn't cramp on me. I mean, I stretch before and after walking and they still cramp up. I guess I just need to condition them. I'd love to be back at my gym and have all the classes, but just can't afford it right now.
I appreciate you talking about this with me!
