I don't like that running reduces the amount I cycle, but I don't seem to be able to let running go for some reason.
I'm with you on this. I've spent 2020 as more runner than cyclist. Want to improve my running but miss the cycling fitness to just up and go on a big hilly Peak District ride when pals suggest it without feeling like it's going to end me.
My vague intention is to keep up my running as is and slowly try and wedge cycling in week on week

Did a sub 20min 5km this year (just). And was following a HM training plan, which I actually finished but it ultimately injured me before having a proper crack at seeing what time I could do. I pretty much gave up cycling too whilst I was doing this.
This year I think just keep clocking a reduced but steady amount of kms - nothing huge, but remain consistent. 2-3 runs per week to keep enough form to comfortably and enjoyably run 10-12km. Want to get back into cycling more which I have done last couple of months.
Would love to do a sub 40min 10km, and always thought if I just focused a bit I would be able to crack it. What I learned this year is that I am way off that and I'm not realistically going to achieve it without serious dedication, and even then I'm not confident i'd I physically have it in me.
I don't like that running reduces the amount I cycle, but I don't seem to be able to let running go for some reason. As a result, both of them are compromised. Would be interested to know if that bothers any of you.
Sorry for long random post.
EDIT - my comment re sub 20 5km wasn't in response to andyp's post - looks like a boast! Hadn't refreshed page before I posted.
