So, I've been wondering....
Been some raving on the forum lately about improved biking (my FTP is now blah blah blah!) and running (I broke 20:00!).
It appears that for running, this is being achieved by: run lots and lots, sometimes hard but mostly easy, a la BarryP.
However, for biking, it's Endurance Nation's out-season plan, which (and I haven't actually seen it, but) appears to be: bike only some, but do it really really hard.
So hopefully this isn't a dumb question but, why the difference? Is it solely because running is harder on the body, and if it weren't for overuse injuries, a EN out-season type (really hard a few times) run plan would be better? What am I missing?
