Continuing on from my "Does Running Benefit Cycling?" post, would the same amount of time, say 30 minutes, be best used by running or by inline skating? In running I feel that covering 4-5 miles I have had a better workout than 30 minutes of inline skating (I am time constrained for these workouts and have 30 mins.).
On the other hand I have read that inline skating uses the same muscles as cycling and may be more beneficial than running in that regard.
I really feel that running has improved my overall fitness and thus improved my cycling results. I doubt that 30 mins of cycling would be as beneficial considering I am running on my non cycling days, 2x per week.
Would replacing running with inline skating bring more results to my cycling performance becuase of the cycling specific muscles, or does the more aerobic running workout provide more benefit?
Thanx!!
