I went out and did 20 miles on the bike just now, came back in and plugged in the heart rate monitor to download the data, and it turns out I was out cycling for less than a minute less than the time I ran yesterday (1:09:35 cycling cersus 1:09:43 running). Perfect way to compare the two.<\/p>\n<p>The starkest difference, and the one that I knew was there but hadn&#8217;t had matching data quite like this, was calories burned. Now, I know it&#8217;s an average, a suggestion based on my height and weight and all that, but the running showed <strong>826<\/strong> calories burned, and the cycling showed <strong>1,278<\/strong> calories burned. Meaning in their estimate running burned only <strong>2\/3<\/strong> as many calories as cycling did. No wonder I was losing all the weight last spring when I was cycling all the time! (and yes, the running and swimming helped, too, I&#8217;m sure, but still) <\/p>\n<p>This tells me I need to stop staying up so late and get my tail out on the bike more often in the morning. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t think I could&#8217;ve shown myself a more stark contrast this morning between running and cycling.
