For people who do both, what do you feel is the ratio of difficulty between long distance cycling miles and long distance running miles?
I just did a 140 mile bike ride and I enjoyed all but the last 15 miles, but I haaaaate running and have never run more than 5 miles. The motion makes it hurt to breathe, and if I try to run with a gait that is less jarring to my chest then my legs tire faster than if I were cycling aggressively. Google says that the the ratio is either 1:3 or 1:4 to convert running distance to a cycling distance of equivalent difficulty. Are there people who are better at running who agree with that ratio?
Please help me check a short exchange with a friend for accuracy
A friend taught me a phrase in Russian. I will use it next time I see him. Because he's a nice guy he'll probably compliment my pronunciation. I would like to be able to respond in Russian "yes, I can memorize words almost as well as a parrot" in Google translate that is "Да, я могу запоминать слова почти так же хорошо, как попугай." Is that correct and does it make sense?
