first, build up the cardiovascular system
3 years ago
i met with a friend of mine who is a physical trainer and talked to him about this goal. he set me up on a training routine on the treadmill at work that will condition my couch-potato cardiovascular system to be able to bike to work. the conditioning is based on heart rate as follows:
- warm up for 5-8 min at HR=110-120
- crank up the speed until HR=135-140, stay there for 30-35 min
- drop down to 3 mph for 5 min
- drop down to 1.5 mph for 5 min
