The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine if the addition of moderate-intensity cycling to a running training regimen would improve running performance. Subjects with at least 6 months of running 15 miles per week or more, were matched based on three (3) kilometer time trial performance then randomized into the control or experimental group.In thirteen (13) subjects M/F= 8/5, age=20.5±1.61yrs; body mass: 61.2±7.9kg; VO2 max: 58.1±11.1 ml/kg/min; average weekly mileage 33.2±18.5 miles; three (3) kilometer time trial: 654.4±93.8 sec. These measurements were taken pre and post intervention. The control group didn’t change their training regiment, whereas the experimental group incorporated 3 hours of moderate-intensity cycling (10-13 RPE) per week to their normal training regimen for 6 weeks. Three (3) kilometer time trial performance improved compared to baseline (p=.036) in the experimental group, but was not significantly different from the control group at pre- or post-intervention. Our findings show a potential benefit of adding moderate-intensity cycling to run training in improving running performance. More research is needed with a larger sample size to better define the influence of cycling on running performance.
