Hi
I find that when I bike or water run (especially when I bike), I have a lot of trouble getting my heart rate up any where close to where it would be if I were running. Any tips? Do i pedal faster? Increase the resistance? both?

And when you run you won't get your HR as high as if you XC ski, which also gives you a higher VO2max and (I believe) AT. On a bike, you sit, and in the pool, you float. Your heart doesn't have to pump as much blood to maintain a particular muscular output. In XC skiing, you push with your legs AND your arms, so more blood (and more oxygen) is needed to serve more muscle fibers, so your HR and VO2max are higher.
Your HR in events different from running is event-specific. You determine HR and AT for each one separately and train in event-specific zones.
Answer: Install toe clips or snap in shoe clips. Then by pulling and pushing (spinning) the heart rate will climb by at least 10 maybe 20 beat a minute. Spin at 90 revs a minute as well.... Go to a lower gear to keep this rate going. I can pedal at 140 or even 150 BPM for an hour or 2. 150 is redline for me; can't run at that level more than 20 minutes or so.
