Subject: RE: long run and long bike back to back? kellc09 - 2006-02-24 9:28 AM
Is it ok to do a long run on saturday and a long run on sunday without hurting yourself? I kind of think that since both are more for the aerobic capacity instead of speed, it may be ok.
You mean long ride one day and long run the next?
That is what I currrently am doing as it is the only available time I can do two longer sessions. I (usually ) do my longer swim workout on Friday, my long bike on Saturday and my long run on Sunday and then have a rest day on Monday. So far it has worked out for me without getting totally wiped out.
But I'm also getting over being sick this week, so I dropped my long swim today and will either cut back my long ride tomorrow to a short ride or none at all and shorten my long run on Sunday. I need to get over this bug so that I can race next weekend ....
Therein lies the problem. If you are not at the top of your health when you start doing that type of program, it can compound any problems very quickly. |
