Coast 2 Coast by Bicycle

After pedaling our tandem bicycle 2,909 miles from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean in 2013, we will be duplicating the journey on single bikes this time. This should be easier for Jeff and more challenging for Lisa as she shifts from passenger to driver. Once again, we will be raising funds for Custom Canines Service Dog Academy. The Pedal 4 Paws blog is sponsored by Verizon, who provided the equipment that ensures a reliable internet connection throughout the Southern United States.

Would You Rather?

The question for tomorrow's training is

"Would you rather a) Ride the rollers in the basement for two hours or b) Run outside with single digit temperatures?"

Update:
I couldn't decide so I did both: 50 minute run followed by a 40 minute ride. The run was two of my normal loops without the frozen path through the woods which destroyed my ankles. The bike ride lasted through an episode of Scorpion.

My GPS unit has helped identify my training needs. Running is definitely a better workout. My heart rate is consistently above 130 with a maximum above 160. Riding the bicycle my heart rate rarely exceeds 125 and is usually near 115.
