Thanks for this. Very informative. I never pay attention to the fat burning zone anyway, but good to know that I'm doing something right. Also, didn't know about the afterburn effect. Freaky.

Glad you enjoyed.

Oh yes , the afterburn effect is amazing.  I havent done a long time cardio session in probably 2 years.  I either do my cardio through supersets which will activate the afterburn effect or a High Intensity Interval Traingin (HIIT).  My favorite is either the 30/30/30 or M-100.  Both takes 3-10 minutes.

I typically run for about 40 minutes a day, starting at 4mph, then jump to 6.7 after 5 minutes, and later gradually increasing by .3 every 5-6 minutes.

I usually end up doing ~5miles.

Is this good, or should I try something else?
