I’ve been riding for many years and have always had fun and enjoyed it, but recently I’ve really been enjoying it more. I think as I get older my body is less tolerant of the beating it takes from running, I sill like a good run but I get off the bike feeling less abused. I could definitely see getting more into cycling and even buying a road bike again, cutting back some on running.
I am in the same boat! I used to prefer running, but have been having a really nice time focusing on the bike so far this season. Given, I need a new saddle so I do get off the bike feeling a little abused…but I find myself yearning for bike rides more than runs now. Weird!
Cool, I actually learned this a few years ago. The running kills my hips and knees. So I only run “after” a good bike ride. All my runs are a brick, bike/run. I just don’t enjoy running enough to make it my daily workout without doing something I truely enjoy, biking.
