Runners & Cyclists
How many times a week do you run? How many times a week do you ride (indoor/outdoor)? For how long?
Re: Runners & Cyclists
Run: Only if something large is chasing me
Ride: 5 days/week. I average 10-13 hours/week. Distance varies depending on whether or not I mountain bike or road bike. A typical week that I don't race looks like:
Monday: Easy recovery ride, 14-15 miles
Tuesday: Intervals, 25 mile
Wed.: Off
Thursday: Group ride, 25-35 miles
Friday: Off
Sat.: 3+ hour ride (usually a group ride), which may be 45-65 miles or more. (typical mountain bike distance is 20-30 miles)
Sunday: Same as Sat.

My Nest Bio and Cycling Advice
Run - usually 3-4 times a week and anywhere from 2.5-3 miles, though I am working on increasing my distance.
Ride - usually just once a week. I'm fairly new to cycling, and usually only get out there for 5-6 miles, though I'm tring to increase that distance as well.
It's easy for me to fit in runs, because I just go on lunch break at work. I'm a single Mom, so actually getting out there in the evenings or on the weekends to ride is much harder for me.

It really depends on the season, but running I've never been able to sustain injury-free more than 3x/week for any length of time.
I usually ride my bike 2-3x/week. I would like it to be more, but I'm usually juggling it with running and swimming, and there's a limit on how many hours/week I can workout. My rides are usually in the 1.5-2.5 hour range each.
Run 3-4 times a week
Haven't rode my bike in about a year. I need to get it out though, I miss riding it.
I run every single time I get off the bike. I try to bike at least 2 days week...lately I have been managing 3 outside and sometimes one more time on the trainer. I do a long run + 1 jogging stroller run in addition to that.
Ditto Sadlebred - I never run on purpose.
Cycling - depends on the season. I spin before work 3 days a week, and in the summer I ride after work 2-3 x a week, plus Sat & Sun. A typical ride is 25 miles or more - our long routes are 67 or 78 miles. We also do short OOT trips to ride various mountain passes (Cottonwood, Independence) on weekends.
Thanks for the replies ladies! I'm trying to figure out how many times a week I would like to run with our new dog but don't want to do too much cardio.
Sorry it took awhile to respond, my boss called me in ... I need to practice teaching a class on the 32count (audition early next week). It would be a promotion that I would like but I'm pretty nervous since I've never had to do that before.
I run three times a week: an interval run, a tempo run and a long run Saturday mornings. I average between 15 and 20 miles a week.
I'm just starting to bike again and I ride on my trainer twice a week and I do anywhere from 10 to 15 miles each time.
