This was better than the previous week, but still just trying to hang on to as much conditioning as possible while this knee continues to recover. It looks like a lot of miles, but only six of Saturday's eleven were running; the rest were cycling. However, the cycyling was much less knee strain, and I'll take what I can get.
Don't get me wrong. Cycling is great, it's just not comparable mile-to-mile with running. With that in mind, instead of substituting cyling miles for running miles, I substituted cycling minutes for running miles at a ratio of 10 minutes of hard cycling for each scheduled running mile. The rationale for this conversion was based on run training at roughly 10 minutes/mile.
By the end of the week, knee soreness was gradually improving, and I'm optimistic about working more running miles back into the mix. Daily yoga practice is now up to 156 days.
YTD: 98.2 miles running, 104.3 miles cycling, 202.5 miles total.
