Jeff brings up a good point. As a lifetime competative runner, I see lots of folks that get injured. Being conservative and making easy days easy is imperative to continuing to run / exercise. I have seens lots of people drop weight and get in shape only to be derailed by injury and struggle with a reaccumulation of fat and loss of muscle. Most of us that can afford bikes can affort PT / medical services if we get injured, I encourage everyone to see medical assistance from an ATHLETIC trainer / chiro / doc when injured and get back on track.
