8 Miles (Green Brooks)

After a couple days rest I gave it a go. I ran 8 miles and my calf didn't start hurting until about mile 4. I was going to do 10, but I cut it short. It wasn't too bad, but still sore. I will either run 3 tomorrow or ride the bike.

    What kind of routine do you do on the bike? I miss my running, but want to keep exercising. Maybe I can do the bike while my knee heals... I see the ortho on Monday. I found out he is a runner.

    If you want to run 5 miles, then ride 15 on the bike. A student told me to at least double it on the bike. You choose twice or thre times, what ever feels good to you.

    Is the bike supposed to be less stress on the knees? Are you riding a road bike or a stationary bike?

    I've done both. A bike doesn't create pounding on your knees. I would check to see if the motion bothers your knee however.

    I tried the bike today at the Y for about an hour. You are right, less pounding. Certainly worked up a sweat. The machine has a fancy video thingie attached to it that simulates a course with other riders. So I tried to challenge myself and speed on past...
