Do all of this plus weights and within a year we will hear your injury stories. If you do not give your body time to build up to such an exercise regimen, it is bound to break down.Originally Posted by GraceKeaux
Right now I am riding 5 days a week. I was planning on running on my off days. My BF says active rest is best. Should I cycle 6-7 days a week (5 regular, 2 easy) and run before or after the ride or should I do the 5 days of cycling and 2 days of running? Will I be overtraining? Thanks for any help!
Unless you are preparing for a race - take 2 days a week complete rest.
Are you doing this for weight control? Adjust your nutrition too. Actually if you want to train like you describe, your nutrition needs to be spot on - protein, electrolytes, iron - supplements to protect your tissues. Read up on it.
Unless you are going for triathlons, bricks are only a nice-to-have.
