Biking versus running miles.

I've mentioned before that I'm registered for my first Duathlon next month. I'm doing the Sprint distance, which is a run, bike, run at about 3, 12, and 3 miles for this race.

Since I'm not really working today, I decided to find out how many equivalent running miles it would be if the bike portion was a run as well. I've run in many races up to a half marathon.

So I was curious, am I doing the equivalent of a half marathon in this duathlon?

As with most things, it turns out, the answer somewhat varies. The common answer is apparently that 1 running mile is about 2 to 3 biking miles depending on calories burned and some other factors.

So my 3, 12, 3 race is between 10 and 12 running miles. Not quite a half marathon.

Kathy and I completed our third Duathlon three sport practice session yesterday with the Triathlon training group and club of which we're members. We're both signed up for the run, bike, run Sprint distance duathlon race next month in Santa Cruz. Prior to those 3 sessions we did 2 of the 3 sections as part of training.

I'm still getting used to multi sport. Prior to the pandemic I ran in a number of races up to half marathon. And, I've biked some reasonably long distances. But, I've never put them together until now.

I'm finding that I "should" up my training by running and riding one more day during the week, even if it's a short distance. Unfortunately work and other commitments get in the way.

One lucky thing is that we live on the California coast so we don't have the heat problems that most of the country is experiencing.

Since I already got a cycling computer and a fitness watch from Garmin I replaced the broken Wahoo TICKR X with the HRM-Pro Plus from Garmin. The Plus version has all the multisport features of the HRM-Pro and Garmin made the battery hatch into a twist lock type instead of bolting it down with screws.

So I think one reason Apple Watches are not that great for serious cycling/running is that as soon as you get a little bit sweaty the touch screen is basically useless. This is why everyone else has buttons. #applewatch #running #cycling #multisport #garmin
