Running or Road Cycling? - 15 June 2008 20:53

Am looking at increasing my already good fitness level. I have a road bike which I haven't used for a while so was thinking of getting back on that (i go mountain biking, but it's not the same as hardcore road riding).. or is it more beneficial to get on the road and do some running?? Both would include interval sprints...
