To Run after the Bike, or to Not Run After The Bike?

Is it morally acceptable to simply stop after you ride a bicycle, or is there a moral imperative to go for a run, even just a small one to “flush the legs out”?

  • One should always run after the bike
  • One should not always run after the bike, but one should feel deeply ashamed if not doing so

It’s criminal not to run if you have the time.

I don’t care to run after every bike, but I have taken to doing run warm-ups on the turbo. Morning runs are painful without a little spin first.

I very rarely run off the bike. A few key sessions before a race and that’s it.

To be fair, I’ve always found rotb pretty natural and I don’t struggle to get into a rhythm or anything.

Are you a cyclist or a triathlete, answer that question and you will know.

Meh that’s relativism! Everyone should run after the bike, always!

This, it’s what races are for!

When it’s warm out, yes.
When it’s 2 degrees out and I’m drenched in sweat, no.

Just a little jog round the block? Go on!

Nah, no running off the bike until the day before a race.

2021: 3 races, 4 bricks.
The 4th was just because I bike commuted home from work before a planned run.

I’ll undercut you

2021: 2 races, 2 bricks and one of those was when the rear derailleur snapped on my MTB and I happened to be wearing trainers.

I like riding a bike, I like going for a run. But rarely both together unless the terms of the event require it.

I mean, you’ve just wolfed down a chunk of stilton. Do you immediately go hunting for the gorgonzola? This is a rhetorical question btw.

Spat on my cyclists and triathletes alike. This is the habit of the d🤮athlete.

How very elitist

Presumably a cycle run cycle is less frowned upon than a run cycle run

Now there’s a civilised alternative. :+1:

Could be a workout, could be a cycle to the park run and cycle back.

I often find myself running before a cycle - happens more often than a runoff
