Day 3, that can only mean one thing. Cross-training. And that can only mean one thing. Sore ass.
It’s actually getting better, I think my butt has resigned itself to the idea that I am too cheap to get a gym membership and it will have to suffer on my costco bike.
Tonite I rode my bike over to the trail to…well…ride my bike. I didn’t turn the Garmin on until I reached the trail. I did three laps on the 2 mile trail over 31 minutes. On the way over I was thinking, biking really lends itself to interval training. You have little choice but to peddle hard in some places and rest in others. So that is what I decided I would do. I peddled as hard as I could up hills and and then coasted down. I was able to keep a nice average heart rate of 140 bpm. It was a great workout.
I think I may actually look into getting a new bike in the future. The one I have is all rusty and lame. I will likely get something used as I have no intention or desire to ride a bike on the roads and be a cyclist. I am too big of a puss when cars are whizzing past.
