When calculating how much I run, how do miles walked, on the bike, and elliptical fit into the equation? Do any of them count towards my miles for that day/month? Thanks for your help!
I think the question is whether you're looking to count them rationally or emotionally?
I'm looking at my logs for June and have only 150 miles of running, my lowest month in about 6 months. BUT, I also started cycling regularly, so my total workout TIME for the month was right near the top.
Emotionally, it's killing me, but I have to trust that the fitness is there rationally. And of course, it always goes back to goals, too, and how the cross training helps you (or doesn't help you) hit your goals.
In short, I pay attention to total time spent working out for overall fitness, but more often than not, I'm obsessing about my running mileage logs.
