You mention that running would be easier on the body…how is that possible? Running is far more abusive to the body then cycling is.
Well, at least when you’re running an ultra marathon your top speed maybe 8 mph, so barring crashes and sore backs, you’re may be right. I should have stated that TRAIL running is easier on the body than ROAD running. I recall a statement LA mentioned after running the NYC Marathon about it hurting. However, with good training, the myth about running being bad for you is ….well…a myth.
