straight to the bike question .. SPINNING is a cycling term which has become a gym workout term, the gym workout is wrong according to what spinning in cycling is meant to achieve
spinning .. low gear high repetition .. aerobic workout without affecting the legs in a negative manner .. if done correctly then the cardiovascular (heart & lungs) is utilised without placing much stress on the leg muscles and specifically the quadriceps
so spinning can be used for recovery and can supplement the aerobic side
used incorrectly where the leg muscles are over worked and the cycling will not provide recovery after the hard running sessions
please ask for more info if need be
time on feet is meant to be an enjoyable run .. low stress and pace does not play a major role in the early days
nice going .. and on to next week
