Biking vs Running Anonymous
Anyone have any idea as to how about much distance on a bike is needed to burn 1 mile's worth of running? Sure there are different factors like pace and everything, but this is a rounded figure. Are they different types of workouts? I just hate running.

Everyone hates running except for runners. You have to run to become a runner. Once you reach a certain level of habitual running, you become a runner and can't stand not to run. I am figured this out not being a runner but looking at 40 year old housewives that can outrun me and kind of going wtf. I suggest that you run because it's a better workout for one. You don't have to cover as much ground to get the same amount of exercise (you would have to travel A LOT more with a bike unless you cranked up the gears and went uphill). Also, thirdly running doesn't require a bike. Running has a higher impact on your body which a lot of people feel will fuck up their joints. This is actually dependent a lot on HOW you run. For instance if I run at a shuffle pace (like oh shit I am dying gahhhhh and just shuffling my feet but still technically running) I can and have fucked up my tendons. Not permanent but the tendons or whatever get inflammed and heart like fucking shit for ages. If I stretch my legs and don't act like a dumb cunt but get a medium stride going, I run faster and better with less impact and feel solid. The impact has a good effect on your body in terms of muscle as well. My abs generally hurt after running on land as opposed to on a treadmill, boxers stay away from treadmills as well (they call running roadwork for a reason). Anyways just a shit load of random thoughts to get you thinking.

I didn't answer your question about the relative distance, so sorry for that.

If sunlight is keeping you from working out, I can already tell you that your attempt at weight loss will fail.

I always run at night. No real reason in particular, it's just slightly cooler and more enjoyable to me. DO IT FGT

I like to run bare foot, and my school has a great rubber track and doesnt have a problem with me running barefoot on it. So i like to run on the track so i dont get glass and what not in my foot like i do from running on pavement while still getting the benefits of running barefoot. I run 5 miles everyday monday through friday, and run 3 miles saturday and sunday. Also, ive been looking into buying some nike free's because ive heard they are desinged to simulate running barefoot, and give you the same benefits as running barefoot. Does anyone know if this is true or can you give me some info on the shoes?

I don't completely agree. I had to run something around 3 miles a day in wrestling, and continued to hate it both years I wrestled. I was an ok runner (6 minute mile), and didn't really feel any pain beyond my lungs (breathed correctly too, it was just too cold).

I do like biking though, it's just so much more efficient, and I get to rest a little more. I think it burns more calories per minute, too. Either way, look what it did to my legs lol.
