Why ride when you can run?
That was the conclusion I came to with my Boot Camp trainer last week. One of my goals was to ride to work twice a week (5kms each way). Much to my surprise, we had just run 7kms in under an hour that morning at Boot Camp so it seemed like my original goal had already been achieved.
Here’s what we came up with:
- Lose 10k by the end of this year
- Ride to or from work twice a week (5km)
- Run to or from work twice a week (5km)
- Complete the half marathon in October
Aside from getting myself fit, I’d be saving 0.19 tonnes of greenhouse gas each year (according to Greenfleet). That’s not much at all actually. Perhaps I should be working up to running to Carlton three times a week?
