Cross training for cyclists?
Just wondering how many of you cross train with running and how often. I am not interested in tri or anything, just want to see if you are seeing any benefits of doing that. At present, I run between 3-5 miles once a week or so, and pretty much ride 5-6 days per wee. Every time after I run, I feel my legs are dead, and I almost have to take the subsequent ride as recovery ride. So besides the conditioning benefit in general, I am not sure if running is really helping me as a cyclist.
BTW, I am not training to race or anything, just like to go faster and ride harder.
