Subject: RE: Running vs biking muscles? Rogillio - 2006-09-03 9:46 AM Well I guess I'm gonna have to venture an a guess to my own question. I say there is "very little" of the same muscles and I'll tell you why. The reason I posted this question was becasue I biked 75 miles yesterday and was looking for an excuse to NOT go running this morning. But since no one responded to my question I figured I'd just go running and see how far I could go. I ran 13 miles w/o too much trouble despite the 75 biking miles yesterday! So asert that biking is mainly the quads and glutes and running is mainly your calf muscles with just a little contribution from the quads and glutes. This is a total guess....maybe somebody knowdgable than I will weigh in on this. ~Mike Running is more hammies and hip flexors, calves to a lesser extent. Last weekend I rode 60, ran 14, rode 60 on successive days without too much trouble. |
