012409 - Bike and Run

Saturday was a busy day, but I got on the bike in the AM and hit the road for a run in the PM.  I biked indoors for 1 hour and 15 minutes and kept a high heart rate.  My max HR was 174 and my average HR was 156.  I did a steady ride and did a simulated 5 minute hill climb every 10 minutes. I would put it on the hardest gear and stand up for 2 minutes and then sit for 3 minutes.  Then I would put it back to an easier gear and spin at a high cadence while my HR dropped back into the high 140s.  

In the evening, I went outside in the freezing cold to run for 45 minutes.  I ran out of memory on my HR monitor so I am not sure what my HR data was, but I kept it very easy and I think my average was probably around 140.  I was really tired in the evening and it was hard to get myself out there, but I did get my 45 minutes in and finish a steady, but light, run.  I ran two times around the reservoir loop and up 1st street at the end to get in an extra 5 minutes.  Covered 4.5 miles in the run.
