Guest agteros Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Even this can be disputed.I guess I won't be using it. I agree.I doubt it is applicable to us, maybe to the full-on professionals in Europe

BigGuy Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Ok been wanting to ask this question for a while, what about walking. I find running kills my body. I am just to big (not fat) I weight 118kg. What is better. half a hour runhour walk3 hour cycle.Us bigger folks are just not made for running Big J-WP. I last ran while in the army, and that was because I had to. Weekly shots of Voltarin kept me going. There was always something hurting, either a knee or a hip or an ankle. I remember breaking a bone in my left foot on the last day of 'Vasbyt', as we were heading towards the end, we had the bright idea to sprint the last few hundred meters to show off our fitness. Not a good idea with the grootsak on the back. Because I was the biggest in the squad I also had to carry the radio and pick and shovel. Afterwards I was on crutches for 6 weeks. Which led to the next interesting thing. I was previously only hitting around 8-10 pull-ups in the fitness test. After 6 weeks on the crutches I could hit 28. My push-up count also more than doubled. Now that was good cross training.
Wyatt Earp Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Yah, targeted at the hardcore racers... I know hardcore racers, very hardcore, not wanting to name drop, some guys have competed in the great TDF and guess what , they run.4-5 k's at a time at least three times a week. But I guess the real hardcore racers are the A batch starters. Edited January 31, 2011 by Dangle

Guest agteros Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Agteros, this proves that real hardcore riders do run. fanks gearless one, but currently I'm going about 50/50 on running and cycling based on time
