As an alternate to running what's a real good bike I can get to build stamina?

Question

I'm still going to run but I'd like to bike as well to change up my workouts as well as my routine so I don't get too bored of running all the time. Can anyone tell me what bike they own or a favorite bike they had to build up their stamina and endurance?

Answer 1

Go to ANY TREK road bike dealer and ask for the 2008 FREE color catalog----there's TONS to choose from the variety of bikes and they will be your BEST weapon.

Answer 2

A road bike is best for building endurance. You have greater control over your workouts. Mountain bike riding is more like intervals.

Answer 3

Pretty much any bike will do the trick.  It depends on how much and how hard you ride it.

Note to wacky:  I do a high percentage of my Ironman training on an MTB, because I prefer to stay on paths and trails out of the way of motorvehicles and their half-witted operators.    The tri-bike feels like a rocket come race day....

Yes, singletrack is more like interval training, but that has little to do with the bike itself.
