Who said that running was hard???

[Bazza1234]

Not so long ago, I ran for 1hour 10 minutes at over 90% of my max HR - and actually reached max for a short bit right at the end .

Tonight, I tried out a fixed cycle ( like those at a gym) - only did around 70% of my max HR and lasted for 10 minutes!!!!!!!

I'm having the same problem! I used to use a fixed cycle years ago before a knee injury, and I had no problems with it. Tried it again recently at the gym (well after graduating, btw) and gave up in 10 minutes!

Can only take about 20-25mins on a static bike, gives a good cardio workout though..

I'm going to need to work UP to 25 minutes. It's murder on my quads.

There's the nhs knee excercises by Sammy Margo which may help you, but the bike gets so boring even with TV or music..😊
