Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / November 2006Points Burned in Marathon Training?
Hello, I've recently started to train for a marathon. I have a watch that calculates the calories burned during my daily runs, and yesterday it said I burned 2100 calories in 2.5 hours of running. I'm at a loss as to how to figure this amount of calories into my daily Weight Watcher's allotment. Can anyone give me some idea as to how many points this is worth, and how I need to adjust my daily intake of food and still remain on the program? Thanks Do you got o meetings? Are you a member online? You just count it as any activity points.. Will~ > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks Hello, I have all the manuals and training stuff from Weight Watchers. I was told that a "rule of thumb" is to count 1 point for every 100 calories of exercise. So, 2100 calories would be 21 points. So, if I'm supposed to eat 29 points each day, Does this mean I should eat 50 points for the day I do all this running in order to eat my weight watchers points for the day? Could I carry the 21 points over to the next day instead? Thanks. > Do you got o meetings? Are you a member online? You just count it as any > activity points..

I don't recommand it.. but since we rolled core.. you can use them later..

BUT if you've been working your behind off all week, and the one day you didn't move, you've got this surprise party.. you've burned them.. It's all in how active you are. I carry mine over, because I earn a lot of them everyday (and rarely eat them)..

At 135 lbs, moderate activity for 150 minutes (2.5 hours) would be 7 pts.. high intensity would be 16 pts.. at 175 lbs moderate intensity would be 9 pts, high 21. I don't believe anybody can maintain a high intensity for 2.5 hours.. but hey.. what do I know.. You better under-estimate than over-estimate when it comes to activity pts. Will~ > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >> > >> > Thanks I know I've heard this before but I'm still having problems classifying low, medium and high intensity. How is this in terms of jogging? For example, 3 miles per hour (low)? 4 miles per hour (medium)? 5 miles per hour (high)? > That "rule of thumb" is far from accurate... use your tools and count your > activity points accurately..
