If you are fit enough then it is probably OK to start the week as planned.

Hi, I’m currently training for a half marathon and have missed a week of training due to bad weather (it would have been our fourth week). Is it okay to go straight on to the week that we have missed (this starts with an 80 minute jog) or should we ease in more gradually, could we have lost fitness in this time? P.S I have done lots of walking on the week off.

Hi Max, nothing wrong with jogging and working out on the same day.

I have a body weight routine that I do at least 4 times a week. What do you know about jogging and working out in the same day? Should I jog one day and workout the next? Should I jog everyday?

Zee, you should probably check with your doctor then to find out how much exercise is safe for you.

Hi Zee, it may be enough, but then again, it may not be. 20 minutes would certainly be better than 10, and 30 minutes better than 20. Any reason to only do 10 minutes?

Aim for 30 minutes to start with, and build up your speed rather than time. Do one longer jog each week, say 60 minutes.

this article helped me finish my homework. I didn’t complete the mile in 11 min. So I had to write a 410 or 420 word essay.

Now we are getting to the bottom of the mystery Jesse! 3 bottles of beer a night? That amounts to around 3500 Calories a week. Basically, you will not burn fat if you are filling yourself with all that beer!

Had my yearly physical yesterday and was asking him about the heart rate thing and he wasn’t concerned at all. He said as I get fitter it will recover quicker. Thanks for your help and I love this website and all the great health info!!!!
