i have Achilles tendinitis so i cant run more then 1 mile at race pace or 2 miles at a low speed without huge and intense pain in my Achilles tendon even when i tape my foot. i have a bike so i was wondering what would be a good cross training workout plan so that i will be in good shape when i get better. currently i bike 2.5-3 miles every day at around 4:40 minute mile pace, i bike without stopping to pedal standing up.
im not really dumb i know what to do: i know i have to ice and strech every day. considering i am a top contributer to running and have like 50 best answers in a row why would you think that i didnt know this. all i need is a plan for how much and how fast i should bike every day because im not that good at planning out scheduals and knowing how much BIKING i should do for a good workout.

I can probably safely assume the majority of people who use the internet enough to answer yahoo questions have seen a trailer for frank miller’s "300". I know Mark Twight is the guy who trained them, i have seen the spartan training video, but does anyone have a link to a workout plan similar to theres or any crossfit workout?
Is Running Counterproductive to Strength Training?

Question: "I’m a longtime runner who recently began working out with a trainer. He told me running is compromising my strength routine. Is he right? "
Answer: Sounds like you need to find a new trainer! “Running is definitely not counterproductive to building muscle, unless you’re looking to dramatically increase muscle mass,” says Gregory Florez, CEO of Fitadvisor.com. “In fact, as a weight-bearing exercise, running helps develop more lean muscle mass in the lower body—which also keeps your bones healthy.”
That doesn’t mean it’s a substitute for strength-training, though. “Include lower-body strength moves like squats and lunges and upper-body moves like push-ups and pull-ups to reduce injury risk, increase stamina and boost metabolism,” adds Florez.
