theres a 8 day bike trip that me kenny alex brett merk bayer were thinking of going on. like 400 miles in 8 days from buffalo to albany, would u have any notions against this? or advice etc.
Well, the most important question is, when is it? I think that would be a great out-of-season activity, but if it were during the 8 days from the County XC meet to the Sectional meet, or 8 days that cause you guys to miss a track dual meet, then bad idea.
If it's during the summer, just make sure you guys are adequately prepped, so that the effort doesn't knock you out of training for a week or two.
it's during the summer (why josh didn't bother to mention this i have no idea) - i don't think i'm going because i have to train as intensely as possible over the summer.
kenny the biking would probably help you greatly, just in my opinion, besides it would be a heck of a lot of fun, and possibly a break from straight up hardcore running, which is needed every now and then, i think at least lol.
its the first week of july 3rd - 11th or so
That's about the best timing possible. Gives you a chance to get some Base work in before the trip, which would generally serve as additional Base training.
