Question from mr danger
I need to get into fairly good shape by 3/1/08 and because of an orthopaedic injury running is not an option
So the plan is to combine bike riding and open water swimming to get there
Open water becuase i hate swimming in polls -too boring.
Thanks
Sorry about the typos .It should have said pools
The bike riding will be limited to roads and I wont be able to do a lot of elevation changes

Depends how fast you ride the bike….gears etc, road bike vs mtn bike. personally I reall dont care for swimming for pretty much the same reason tooo boring. But its my understanding that it is actually even better for CV fitness than running is.
I don’t know about the speeds, but my personal observation over lots of years of doing all three is that 1 unit swimming = 4 units running = 10 units cycling. You can make the units yards, kilometers, miles, whatever.
This is somewhat verified if you look at the race times of competitive athletes in all three.
