What is the best mix of sessions for a fitness programme of running and cycling? I plan to train 6 days a week with one day off. I was thinking of 4 running sessions and 2 longish cycle rides(20 miles) on alternate days. I also cycle 3 miles a day to work(round tripp)

There's no right or wrong answer to this.

You sound like you've got a pretty good plan in mind already.
If you can acheive the above programme, then I should be getting advice from you.
If you enjoy it do it. You didn't say what you are training for. If its to improve stamina we used to do a lot of fartlek for Orienteering competitions. This involved a distance running hard followed by jogging, alternately. Is it possible to cycle a long way round to work, involving a steepish climb. Good luck! Where we live that means going in any direction as hills cannot be avoided.
You would be better not running and taking up swimming and rowing, both are endurance fitness sports and don't have any impact on the knees.

Thanks everyone. I live in a hilly area also and riding to work and back the long way round would help.
Unfortunatly dont like swimming. I enjoy the "buzz" you get from running.
