Gym again. Onto the exercise bike. How unusual.
Set the bike for Random Hill for 22 minutes including a 2 minute cooldown.
Got through 10.1ks in the 22mins with a top HR of only 163BPM. With an average of 123BPM.
Pretty slack actually. Should have pushed a bit harder.
Jumped onto the rowing machine and did 2000m in 8:36. The only thing it seemed to work was my arms and lower back a bit.
Hopefully some of this bike exercise will keep me fit for when I start running again.
Edit: Spoke to a Surf boat rowing mate of mine and he reckons the Olympic rowers do about 6mins for 2000m. He said 8:36 is pretty soft. First time, I'll have to row harder next time.

Bikes, rowing machines, even scary eliptical trainers ... they've all gotta be good for your fitness.
Especially the bike - just wait and see how you power up those hills when you are running again!
Not many have your dedication to train like you are at the moment SF. It will pay off for you big time when you start back. :)
Nothing like a bit of competition is there ;-)
Thanks for your comment on my blog Flake. I think the ceremony at 6ft 2007 is a great idea; just need to work out how to sell it now ;-)

Actually the rower is extremely good for the glutes. So soon you'll have a butt the envy of all the blokes.
