Any RetroBikers also runners?
I was a runner before succumbing to the charms of cycling, but always try to fit some running in between rides. For a couple of years I managed a few triathlons and duathlons, but marriage and work have put paid to that. Now in my late 50s, it's becoming obvious that recovering from a run seems to take longer than it used to. In my 20s it was normal to do six runs a week -- now two (short) runs and three rides a week is the most I can manage.
The two disciplines seem to be reasonably complementary, although I've learnt that combining the two requires some extra quad stretching -- cycling seems to tighten them up a bit.
It would be interesting to hear from anyone else who sprinkles some running in with their cycling. Want to compare notes?
