September
I can tell you’re running again Sweder without even reading you.. just by the length of the diary entriesSmile Funny how one thing leads to another … it must stimulate the old creative juices!

Back to the mountain biking theme, ever since I bought a mileometer I’ve used the bike to measure all my running routes. Like you I’ve discovered that my off-road biking time is only marginally faster than my running time and that the steep uphill sections are without doubt harder when I’m biking it. The only place where I gain much time on the bike is with long, non-technical descents.

One Sunday I mountain biked the Aquilianos short route. It took me 5 hours 20 minutes, only about half an hour faster than I did it on foot once upon a time.

Another thing I've noticed is that when I'm using my mountain bike I feel much stronger running uphill so one thing clearly compliments the other.
