As I read about different training programs, they tend to be single sport oriented. I ride and run in approximately equal proportions. Both riding and running programs emphasize different types of training within their sport - endurance, hills, speed. My question really comes to this: Do I need to work all types of workouts in each sport or can I get essentially the same benefits if my specialized training spans the two sports? Does that long run this week keep up my cycling endurance as well as a long ride (assuming a long ride next week)? My body and schedule do not always allow two long endurance workouts each week so my approach has been to rotate the sports within the workout for a balance. Thanks for any thoughts
