What connection are you drawing between running off the bike and injuries? Or are you just stating two independent things that you think are important? Staying injury free should obviously be a goal for every athlete. Not sure how bricks fit into that though.
I guess I just believe in a few things.
First, run all year long. run lots of hills. IMO, one does not need to do any track work, just open it up in races.
I believe there is nothing negative to always running on tired legs, which is what I do on all my runs.
Folks who seem to want to push it such that so many end up hurt makes no sense to me. I would rather hit the start line 95% trained, than not at all.
I just look at the folks I know who are so much better than me, but either they are not at the start line, or they cannot run worth beans.
So I just look at folks saying there is only one way to do things and then I just want to see their results.
I just know that since after my bike 4 days a week I hit the treadmill for 6:30 10 minute run, that when I am in a race, I seem to be able to just take off since this
is mentally what I have trained myself to do.
Again, I never run after a long bike. I just do not see any value and too much risk of injury. I save this risk for a real race.
