On the bike

For the next 10 weeks I will training at the "Base Phase" meaning that my heart rate should exceed 137 on the bike and 146 running. The idea being that you train your body to fuel itself aerobically which can be sustained over a longer period of time. This I find tough since it doesn't feel like I am training hard enough. I have to trust the theory though and so will stick to it. On the bike today albeit indoors. Trying to get to grip with the rollers. I managed about half an hour but nearly came off so many times. I am still not sure what happens if you do but I am sure it isn't pretty and is bound to be painful. I stare at the same mark on the wall focusing hard so that the front wheel doesn't come of the front roller. I can't believe some people are able to do it no hands, I am hoping that if I persevere my balance and smoothness of my pedal stroke will improve. Second half of the session on the turbo which is much easier even able to watch a bit of the Bourne Identity to while away the minutes.
