Thursday 30min Bike Intervals

30:00. HR Avg 122 Max 148
Course: Gym.
Start Time: 5:30 pm.
Session Type: Gym Bike.

Tonight I was feeling tired. Had got up at 1:30 am to watch the Asian Cup Qualifier Australia V Bahrain (which we won 3-1)and then after a couple of hours sleep was up again to watch the Champions League match Chelsea v Barcelona. Heaven help us when we have to play against Brazil and Ronaldinho at the World Cup.

So come run time, I decided to do an Eddie and jump ruts and try a Bike session in the gym. Last year, leading up to Gold Coast I did a session like this once or twice a week mainly to protect my dodgy knees and was planning to start them next month but today seemed a good day to start.

Tonight's session was 5 minutes warm up, then 20 minutes of 30 seconds hard and 90 seconds steady, followed by a 5 minute warm down. It always amazes me how hard I have to pedal on the bike to get my Heart Rate up to any respectable level.
