Blogging and Training - Training and Blogging

Blogging and Training -

I had no idea how much time it takes to blog... I promise to update my blog on a regular basis and post more pictures from my training sessions.

In my last post - I mentioned that I am trying to keep my heart rate below 150. My coach now wants me to keep my heart rate below 135. I am basically at a snails crawl - this requires lots of patience on my part, which I am severely lacking. This past week I ran a total of 30 miles and biked 4 hours on the trainer at an average heart rate of 134. I understand that this base training is going to pay off in the long run, but it very difficult for me to see the tunnel at the end of the road.

If anyone has any advice on good movies to watch on the bike trainer - please send them my way!!!!

Hi Kevin. I really enjoy watching TV series on my trainer, that way it breaks up the long ride into a few different shows. I rent the DVDs so that I can watch several episodes all on one ride. I've watched Weeds, The Tudors, Sopranos, Family Guy to name a few.

Oh, a while ago I got my hands on a Discovery Channel Navy Seals training documentary. That was awesome for the trainer!

Good luck!

Hey Kevin,

It is so hard but worth it, I think, to train w/ a low heart rate. I always think about how long it takes (compared to if we were running at the pace we wanted to be at) but I bet it'll pay off! Stick with it.
