Which episodes discussed minimum effective dose?
I’ve been training for long course tri having completed that my next race is a flat road marathon. Running will take priority but I’m wondering how much cycling to include as x training that will a) supplement my run training and b) maintain some or must of my cycle fitness.
Not sure about the podcast, but this post on the Trainerroad blog on detraining has some suggested doses.
Now I’d imagine the numbers are a fair bit different if you are still running, so personally I would just stick with 1 or 2 endurance rides a week and focus on running for the rest of your available time.

I would work in two 60 to 90 minute cycling workouts per week for maintenance to go along with your running workouts. You shouldn’t lose much cycling fitness and it may actually help your run goals.
