Just slap on some shoes and clothes not bike gear to check beforehand or tune up afterwards. You never get a flat. 2) Intensity: Leave from your door, quickly achieve a target intensity (heart rate or whatever), and maintain that intensity throughout the workout, no downhill coasting, minimal waiting at lights or stop signs if you design your route correctly. All this combined means that if time is limited, you are likely to be able to get a more intense workout from running than biking. Road running has a number of things going for it.
