Just like yesterday I got in a bit of training today. Like yesterday the training was an hour on the Kickr.
One thing about today is that the session on the Kickr did feel a little bit better. As I said yesterday, I am not placing to much value on how the heart is 'feeling', but all the same, it did feel better than it did yesterday. In the bits of the session where I was checking the heart I didn't notice any ectopics at least, so that is something.
The session is hardly smashing myself, pushing out about 140W while keeping the heart rate comfortably under 120bpm. The instruction from the Doctor was to keep it easy and I have figured that if I keep it under 120bpm then I will be staying well and truly within the easy heart rate zones. Really I have been aiming to keep it as close to 110bpm as I can, which is exactly what I did today, with an average heart rate of 112bpm.
For tomorrow I am debating whether to get on the bike again or go for another walk. Initially I had been planning on going for a walk just to ensure I am not pushing my body too hard on the bike. After my ride this morning though I am less sure, the bike did feel quite fine this morning after all. The other factor is that I know from experience that I only have finite patience for the Kickr. It is a great device, but you can go a little crazy doing the same thing, day in, day out. In fact I am already starting to crave the opportunity to go for a ride outside. Given that riding outside it off the cards until I have seen the Doctor next week, I suspect it might be wise to ration my Kickr session a little so that I don't hit the limit of my patience. Given that, I suspect heading out for a walk might be the wise course of action.
Of course I would love to break up walking and the Kickr with a bit of a surf, but the swell is continuing to refuse to play ball. Soon thought I suspect.
