- What's up trainiacs?
Today we're talking about the age-old battle
of what is better for triathlon?
Biking or running?
(upbeat techno music)
The first reason that cycling is better
than running is because it takes up so
much more of the triathlon that it makes
a lot more sense to focus on it.
In a sprint triathlon, bike takes up as
much as 40% of the entire duration of the race.
In a full iron man, it might take as much
as 60 of the entire duration of the race.
So just by nature, what are you gonna get the
best bang for your buck on, by spending more
time on one than the other?
It's the one that's gonna take up a bigger
proportion of the race, hence cycling is better.
The second reason that cycling is better than
running for triathlon is that cycling and building
cycling fitness helps you have a better run.
If you get off of that bike a lot fresher,
you can have a really good run.
Because you're just ready to go.
You didn't get the crap kicked out of you
on the bike, so it actually makes you not just
a better cyclist, but also a better runner.
Being a better runner doesn't make you
a better cyclist.
Check cycling.
The next reason that cycling is so much
better than running is that you can build
endurance way easier and way safer on the bike.
You can go for a four-five-six, nine hour
bike ride, you ever try goin' for a
four-five-six hour run?
Not gonna happen.
And by building the muscles and the endurance
to go for hours on end, you're gonna be helping
your overall endurance for the grand total
of an iron man, a half-iron man, full triathlon.
With a run, because it takes so much outta ya,
you're not gonna be able to build that long
endurance that you can go for days on end.
The next reason that cycling is better than running
is because it's a clear payoff in time spent
doing the work to actually getting faster.
On running, you're often limited to your
biomechanical limiters, how fast you can turn
your muscles over, what your biomechanics allow
you to do, how your structure is built.
However, with cycling, basically time in the saddle
results in speed on the course.
It's just math.
The next reason that cycling is better than running
is because there's less chance for injury.
Running is like a Cracker Jack box of injuries.
My injury right now on my heel?
Running.
You ask most people, "Hey, what're you injured from?"
Guarantee they're all injured from something.
Odds are really good that injury came from running.
Cycling, you don't hear of too many
chronic cycling injuries.
I mean maybe some niggles here and there,
takes a little bit of ice to work out.
But you're not having like these season-ending,
multiple, multiple months of rehab injuries
that running provides.
Lucky us for running.
The next reason that cycling is better than running
is that you get to see more of your
city, state, province, country.
You can go for hours and hours on end,
and you'll end up seeing more of your surroundings
than if you're in a car, if you're running,
because you're covering more ground and
you're covering it at a really nice pace that,
unless you are going, like, pshew, eyes bulging
out of your sockets kind of speed, you can look
around and take in a lot of nature and a lot of
the scenery that you wouldn't see with
any other method of travel.
So cycling.
It's good.
I like it.
The next reason that cycling is better than running
is that even the low intensity stuff is fun.
Have you ever gone for a long, one-and-a-half,
two hour, really long, slow distance run?
It ain't fun.
Unless you got a best, best pal with you that can
capture your attention for hours on end, it's a
real long slog.
Or you can listen to some Triathlon Taren podcasts.
I hear they're really good.
But if you wanna go for a long, slow distance,
like multiple, three-four-five hour ride,
grab yourself a pal and you just chat away
and ride for hours on end.
Still tons of fun.
The next reason that cycling is better than running?
More spandex.
Game, set, match.
The next reason that cycling is better than running
is because of cycling trips.
You can go all over the world.
You can tour Europe.
You can tour California.
You can tour South America.
But have you ever heard of people going on a
group run vacation?
No, doesn't happen.
But a group cycling tour?
Very very common because, going back to that
other reason that cycling is so good, is you get to
see so much of the natural surroundings around
you that it's just a naturally enjoyable tour.
And the last reason that cycling is better
than running, because of bike gear.
You know how much fun it is to walk into that
bike shop and just piss away my life savings?
Ho, be still my beating heart.
Oh, goodness.
So there you go, those are all the reasons
that I am a very big fan of cycling over running.
Tomorrow, we're gonna talk about why running
is better for triathletes than cycling,
and there's a lotta reasons for it.
