In 15 minutes, I’ll be venturing out on my last 20-mile joggling run before the Chicago Marathon. I thought it would be interesting to do a before and after look at certain body/mind statistics.
Before running 20 miles
Weight = 190.8 lbs
Beer Belly waist = 36.5 in
Heart rate = 72 bpm
Temperature = 97.1 F
Pains: No obvious soreness.
When I got back I took my measurements again.
Immediately After 20 miles
Weight = 185.8 lbs
Beer belly waist = 36.0 in
Heart rate = 112 bpm
Temperature = 97.5
Pains: Lots including the following.
- Eyes were burning
- Feet were sore
- Sore butt
- Sore lower back
- Sore shoulders
- Sore neck
- Sore left knee cap
- Cotton mouth
Next Morning
Weight: 188.8 lbs
Pains: General soreness in legs. It was a challenge to get out of bed.
By the next evening, I felt fine. Tomorrow, my training schedule calls for some joggling sprints.
What did we learn?
After joggling 20 miles, you can expect your heart rate to increase, lose some weight, and increase your body temperature. Oh yeah, and don’t forget being in pain for 24 hours.
