At the Residence Inn in Munich. Fitness Center contains 2 treadmills, 1 crosstrainer, 1 recumbent stationary bike, a rack of dumbells and a universal cable weight machine.
Very hot in the room, maybe 26 or 27C.
I elected to do.
- 30′ incline walk on treadmill. Max incline (15%), Started at 3.0mph for 5min, then increased to 3.5. Objective was to slowly bring HR to 65% to 70% of HRR and stay there.
- 30′ stationary bike. Lazy man’s intervals. Target was average HR in the same 65% to 70% range. Ended up a little bit lower than that because the level adjustment on the machine was not cooperating.
HR sensor linked fine to the equipment via ANT+, but the BT function seems to not be working. The battery cover on it is also pretty much shot, so I bought a Wahoo Tickr on Amazon yesterday. Hopefully it will be waiting for me at home.
My HR during the incline walk rose slowly and finally hit 65% HRR about 15 minutes into it. With about 5 minutes left, it was right up at 70% HRR (144) and briefly went above that for the last couple of minutes.
On the bike, my HR was up in the right range when I was in the intervals and coasted down into the mid 120s during the easy parts. It was still sweaty work in the hot gym, but I wish I could have adjusted the level.
Tomorrow: Probably the same thing.

You could add some weights as well. Do you do weights at all?

I did 3 months of strength training last fall. I felt like it made me stronger and slower on the erg. I’m sure it could be beneficial, but I couldn’t work out how to Balance it with the other workouts I was doing. I think I might try it again with a bigger emphasis on injury prevention and less on big three lifts (squats,deads, rows)
