Road to Powerman 2011: The Only Beyond the Limit Training

Ha..yesterday I managed to have a brick workout as my preparation towards Powerman Malaysia 2011. The bike section I rode 58km at 85-90% intensity under pass 11:30am sunshine really tested my physiological & psychological abilities. The route was windy, wide road & hilly just to blended some taste for that 58km.

After the ride, I ran without any distance targeted in mind. I just ran and reach the U-turn point and striding to the finish. As a post running section, I had a quadriceps pull- the feeling that I'm missed so much- only to have that during race time. Perhaps, this coming Sunday I will not feel that muscle pull. The reason it happen was easy to know - I'm dehydrated, 500ml of plain water for entire workout under mid-day sunshine.

So, I'm ready to race this Sunday as to be a finisher of 'The Slowest Powerman Finisher' since 2003.

"How many calories your body needs per day?"

Your calorie requirements vary according to height, total body weight, ratio of fat to muscle, age, gender, genes, health and physical exercise. In general, your calorie needs can be reasonably accurately assessed base on two calorie components : Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and Physical Exercise.

Your Basal Metabolic Rate is the minimum number of calories needed to power your body while resting. i.e. energy needed by your body to maintain normal functions, like heart beat, respiration and normal body temperature. It accounts for about 60-70% of your calories requirements.
The second major calorie component is physical exercise or activity. The more exercise you take, the more calories you burn.

The calorie calculator below only gives an approximation.
