Hey chillin, your answer has helped me like you can not believe. I am making a program for my Gf and I did want to start until I had an exact answer.

You are welcome.

The BMR "can be" generally lower for females than males--dependent (of course on the females weight/hgt combination, etc). I got your PM, and if want we can discuss her particulars, and get her started.

Best wishes

Chillen
 
Cool

Jens is 177 cm
90 kg
And she is 27 yo. Do you need any other info?

I am still working on a program for her. I am trying to base her training around mine but it's hard. We did a 35 km bike today but it was sloooow.
 
Anyway..

Today was big, ride to work, 6km run, ride home, 2 km run with Jen (she is doing really well I'm so proud and it's mad fun training someone).

Eating well, looking damn trim and feeling fit.
 
Did a 5km run at race pace (training for 21.5km run in May)

Finding my training is really consistent (minus a few core sessions).

Total time 25 min 05 secs

Average HR 156

Peak HR 165

Lap 1 4.37
Lap 2 5.01
Lap 3 4.58
Lap 4 5.20
Lap 5 5.08

I own a Suunto Hr monitor and it rocks balls.

just hoping to keep that consistency up.

Did a 7 mile run today at about 10:00 pace. Was a hot day and some hill were involved but I got through okay.

Training is really constant and I pretty much made 4 days with a really clean diet.

Last week I was able to wear a shirt that is normally too tight for me and I felt great!
 
Spent $250 on new runner shoes. They are cool, but I got bad shin pains so I rested over weekend. Did 5 mile today (Tuesday), HR average was 72%. This is good. Shins feel heaps better.

I am **** at diet, I get so bored of stuff. feeling fat and bloated but no where near as bloated as I was when I started posting here.

Update 1.01056

in the last 200m I sprinted after a 6km run today.

Haven’t missed a training session in 6 weeks. Feel good for race (21.5km) May 17.

Gunning for 1.50. Who knows I could end up putting myself through hell? I could really. Just depends how I approach it. I will happy to run it.

Been pumping some resistance training, pushed out 30 push-ups- 30 crunches – 20 push-ups (super set) the other day, and I’ve not done much weight training, so it’s a good base.

Been cooking at home a lot which is helping with diet. Breakfast is always 100& and lunch is normally 100% good, wholesome foods. And now diner is getting much better also.

Have a great day, got 8km run tomorrow, and 9 mile run thus Sun, longest I’ve ever run.
 
Cheers, I've been looking at my diet recently and trying to make good choices. I was able to eat abit more with all my running. Trying to figure out next race, or what I'll do. Meanwhile, I'm doing body push-ups and core.
 
Had a small injury, so I am missing my 14km race. But I am well recovered now. got engaged, been hitting the weights with some good results! Though my diet is shaky on the weekends. Enjoying life and still enjoy training.
