I’ve just done my final bike ride before the Tour De Manc on Sunday, already done 480 miles in the last 4 weeks or so and feel ready for it. After tonight’s run I’ll have completed 480 miles running too, which is a nice coincidence.

Only 103 miles on Sunday......;0(

Driving?

Driving?

Haha, no mate unfortunately, my car would struggle on some of these hills anyway.

Tour De Manc finished, unbelievable day, 103 miles in 7:06 hours. Hill after hill after hill. Just under 9000 feet climbed. Tough course. But really enjoyable.
Beer o’clock time now, hope the Turks head is prepared for us....

Has anyone experience of using cross trainer or treadmill rather than outdoors running?

I ask regards to stress on knees -I’ve always had a weakness in my left knee and it feels sore the day after any running.

But I’m concerned on space taken up and cost if treadmill or cross trainer

What about a row machine? Normal row into sprint row is really good, low impact hi intensity workout.

I don't bother with running now as I warm up for 4 min moderate speed with 1 min sprint and repeat through 20 mins.

You could extend that workout as long as you like.

Didn’t think of rowing machine. A solution that is easier on the knees and works the core more

You want to work your core? then stop pissing about with rowing machines and steppers.....and get some squats and deadlifts done.

The man is coming from a running background and I'm assuming he wants to carry on some kind of endurance relating to the former exercise.
