Rest day!?

[Chewy73]

I did a run yesterday and today is supposed to be a rest day, does a bike ride count in a rest day? 🚴🏻‍♀️

Yes, cycling is excellent cross training. That said don’t go from never cycling to a 50 mile hard ride, that won’t help at all! Doing whatever you’re used to doing and extending that in a similar way to C25K will only help.

Thanks, wasn’t sure if I was meant to ‘rest’ love my bike rides! 😁

Yeah, I rename rest days as “non-running days” to keep my mindset right... they’re a day to do anything but nothing or running! So long as the activity doesn’t involve both feet being off the ground together and landing repetitively it’s good... so no skipping marathons 🤣

Have a great ride.

Thanks 👍😁
