Okay, i'm completely out of shape. My goal is to keep get in shape to eventually do a marathon in I don't know 2 or 3 years (trying to be realistic).
Okay, so I bought a stationary spinning bike, cause somedays I'm crushed for time, but I always have 20 minutes infront of the television. Anyways my resting heartrate before I started to train was about mid 90s, after about 3 to 4 months of training (5-6 days a week, for 20 minutes) I'm now about high 80s to low 90s. I hit about high 120s to low 130s as my target for 20 minutes. Is this a good target? Can I get better results going higher, or do I need to stick to the plan? I can't do marathon training (long hours) cause of my busy schedule but 20 minutes is always something i can spare.
P.S. I also do some extra training (push-ups, sit-ups, a little boxing) just o get my body in better shape (okay just to look better, but you know ). I usually do this after the bike for about 5 minutes.
thanks for the input
