Training while doing research (watching Movies)



So one of the things that I have had to make sure to do is train on my bike more than I usually do. Because of the bad weather I decided to get a bike trainer. (yes its kind of like training wheels but not) This little kickstand allows me to peddle to my hearts content indoors. This gets my milage up. I am getting up to 250 miles per week because I am going to push my speed at the beginning of the trip so I dont stay in the North east to get hit by storms.

With this new trainer it allows me to double task to in the picture I am watching documentaries while I'm biking. Makes sense doesn't it?

ANY recommendations on documentaries for me to watch?

TOTAL DISTANCE FOR DAY (TDD) : 5 miles
TOTAL TIME FOR THE DAY (TTD) : 30 min

TOTAL DISTANCE TRAVELED: 2190.84 + Miles

  1. Brilliant! I wondered how you were going to get around the weather issue while you were training, that is a fantastic way to do it.

    I can't think of any documentaries offhand that I can recommend, not any that apply to your situation anyway. I could suggest a couple of good ones just for the pure pleasure of viewing if you are interested.

  3. I've heard The Cove is really well done and not nearly so depressing as the content suggests. Haven't seen it (probably ought to be embarrassed about that as a marine mammal researcher) but if you're out of good flicks...
