ANSWER: Because they’re not asking about training with only performance in mind. They’re asking about training while also having fun. Conflating the two is just confirmation bias.

@Scott Semple, I agree and disagree with the above. I went for a 2 mile run at about a pace of 12-minute miles. When I was done My knees were so sore that I could walk upstairs. So in my case, cycling is a great way for me to push my endurance, cardio, and get that volume w/ still being functional the next day. Saturday I did a 62-mile ride and felt great during and after. Which makes the 2-mile run sidelining me is frustrating.

I really appreciate this discussion and all the ideas being discussed. Thanks for being great at sharing.

I will be looking to transition to trail running this fall hopefully I’ll be able to figure it out w/o the pain.

Thanks, @atamank & @scottsemple,
Like Scott, I hate to run. I did it for a while then my knees and ankles got worse and it was too painful. Which led to not being able to put in the time for the benefit I was looking for. I have always biked and loved it. This week alone I have put in about 76 miles. Right now I using it to build habits and losing weight so that when I get back to sport-specific activities, my knees and ankle won’t hate me.

My hope is that the Aerobic and mental aspect of slogging on a bike will have some transfer to hiking and running. Thoughts?

Thanks Scott, I got the zones form doing the math and friend who is a trainer. Didn’t get them from the spit out of the watch, I adjusted them. And yes using a strap heart rate monitor.
