Hi gRUNt .. if you see this link
http://www.time-to-run.com/training/hear...ercise.htm
you will see the paragraph (bit scientific):
* Body Position on the Bike will Influence Heart Rate. Letââ¬â¢s say I am riding on an indoor bicycle trainer with my upper body parallel to the ground (Hands on the drops) at a heart rate of 145. Raising upright while continuing to cycle at the exact same workload will result in an increase in heart rate of about 5 beats per minute.
---------------------------------------
the most important thing is how you sit on the bike and that you learn to spin correctly, during these sessions it is based on time and simply getting the activity in .. 'longterm' the consistency of training will benefit you
so swim when you want to as well
now .. Day 3 will be this Thursday, but instead of doing the 2k session again you can do a steady 20 to 30 minutes .. then follow the program from Day 4 onwards ..
enjoy
TheEd
ps.. I also surmise you reasonably tall?
