Do the two go well together? It may be coincidence but I did a couple of decent rides last week and now struggling to run.
Ok, so not the 'fittest' out there - but have run a bit in the past and trying to get back into it with a half marathon coming up.
Recently have been out on a 'big' ride at weekend (20-30m) and maybe a quick 8-10 mile midweek some weeks. Have been able to build up running to hit 3 miles last Sat. Then i did a 45 mile ride Sunday and then a 36 mile ride (with more hills than normal) Tuesday - went out twice since then for a run and legs hurt so only did a mile each time.
Did I put too much into the 2 rides in quick succession and running was just too much? Do I need to limit or watch the amount I bike to allow myself to run properly?
Am 48 so no spring chicken and could do with losing a couple of stone!
