I used a varied program on a gym bike at level 6 and managed to keep a steady effort throughout. My heart rate kept going quite high up to 182 bpm but i’m not too worried as I think I just have a fast heart beat and I didn’t feel too uncomfortable.

My goal is to buy myself a road bike in the new year and in the meantime use the gym bikes to strengthen my legs in preparation!!

Just wanted to see if I could freestyle 500m without warm up. And I could! I know it’s best to warm up first but on the day of the tri, I don’t know if I’ll get chance. I nearly died after first 5 lengths (125 m) but settled down nicely and wasn’t over exerted at the end.
