Ok so idk if you guys read my other post, about doing the Fuller Center Bike Adventure this summer. It's 3600 miles over 2 months for charity. Now I am REALLY going out of my mind trying to think of ways to get myself ready. It starts June 10th, and goes through August 13th. I have a gym membership (It's completely necessary during the winter in Ohio), and my current bike (which will be completely useless for this trip). I am in the process of getting a new bike, but for now, all my training has to be done in the gym until all the snow melts!
What I need, is suggestions on how to get the most from my workouts at the gym. What I can do to get my strength and stamina to where they need to be in just over 3 months. My main limitation is not being able to run. I will be allowed to soon, but as of right now, I am recovering from a hip surgery that limits the amount of high impact workouts I can do. I've been told that I can bike as much as I want, and everything else is just a, "if it hurts, don't do it" type thing.
I feel totally crazy for attempting something like this, but my surgeon told me I am all clear to go ahead and try! So, I'm going to try.
I just need to get serious. Get some suggestions from people who know what they're doing, and set up a training schedule to stick to.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
