Great, so how f*cking unfit am I with a 37bpm difference? 179 for the run, 142 for the bike.
That was me 5 months ago!....and could only run 90 seconds @ a time. Now I am about a 5-10 BPM difference and can run 5 miles. I never thought I would reach this point of fitness.
Just keep trucking and you will see improvement!
Here's the thing though, I can run a half-mary and I'm basically in 'olympic distance' shape. I mean I'm not competing for any AG trophies and I'll probably be in the last half of all finishers, but I'm not out of shape imo. I know he didn't mean any offense by it and I'm not really offended, it's more he hit on a spot of frustration for me at just the right (or wrong ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/wink.gif) ) time...when I just finished my first LT test on the trainer. I was expecting an LT pretty close to my run LT (which I've done a couple times and it's pretty consistent ) and instead I get that weird result. |
