I can only speak for myself, but running more than twice a week is bad, but
running at least once a week is good. This assumes you have good shoes. A
lot people use tennis shoes or the like, which is bad. But you'd be amazed
at how the new shoes reduce impact, that is what I noticed. Like most
things in life, balance is usually best, for the over all feeling of well
being. If I do just pure cycling, with a mix of intervals, and endurance,
eventually I develop strange aches and pains in my body, and it seems a good
run will straighten those out. And besides, I gotta get that high, at least
once a weak.
