I used to cycle but I might get into running. I already started running a couple years ago and I liked it. It gives you more freedom, and you don't need an expensive machine to do it. You just strap on your shoes and you run.

Anyone else got into running?

I really wish I could get into running but I'm too big for it (bear mode). I've been cycling for so long that running puts a weird stress on my body (primarily in the calves and lower quads.)

I someday hope to go back to cycling so that I can experience that runner's high of so long ago.

I'm the exact inverse. After learning how to ride not too long ago, I find running infuriatingly slow and exhausting.

Running hurts your knees a lot more, and it feels painfully slow.
I'll tell you what is strange, it's walking. It's so fucking slow..
Anyway, personal anecdote time: I had to stop running since I was hurting one of my knees. Now I cycle and it's much better.

I walk for transport. The original mode, centering to not be whipped from a to b as we have gotten used to. Even less req'd than running. Lets the pulp settle

Its not painful if you use good technique and equipment (and are not a fatty) but yeah, running is too freaking slow. Hard to go slow once you've been on a bike for a while.

On topic question: Can you get shin splints by riding? It's happened a couple times that I get a sharp feeling in my shin.

wtf no, kind of impossible

shin splints are cause by intense tissue/bone trauma, you don't get that on the bike (you're not weight bearing and the type/range of motion being utilized while biking makes it highly unlikely) - you might, however, aggravate it if you're using poor pedal technique

I run 21 km three times a week and cycle on the other four days, time permitting, and cycling is better in almost every way.
I've never been injured cycling, I can go faster, I can travel further and I can go longer.

no, that comes from the way your foot falls on the ground while running

>More freedom

In one way.

On the other hand, it's a high impact sport and rests are required or you fuck shit up.
You can't run as much as you can cycle.

I used to like running, but times have changes.

Racewalking is fine though.

Maybe if you hit a wall riding a recumbent.
