  1. Well done! Reading stories like this helps a lot - shows me that you can and it's not impossible to do it. "Slowly" seems to be the most difficult thing about this whole mission though - you know where you want to be and you want to be there now.
  2. Thank you! Will surely post a report once I achieve my goal!!
  3. I started running a year ago after a looong period of sitting behind a desk daily at work and stuffing my face while laying on the couch in the evenings. So with the extra weight I managed to quickly run myself into shin splints that braked my running effort quit effectively. So then bought a bike to pick up the slack from the running. The biking and running started peaking my interest in Triathlons. So I started watching videos, reading, and then some and that then became my goal for next (hopefully) year. So now that I'm crawling along again and cycling is picking up I decided to start doing brick sessions as well. I nearly died. I did a very short cycle, changed shoes and started running. My legs still tried to pedal when I wanted to run, when that eventually came right my calves decided they had enough and ceased up like an old mazda with no engin oil. the rest of the very short run was slightly uncomfortable! The point of my story... I take my hat of to you guys doing this for fun! One day when I'm big I want to be able to do this properly as well!! Although my legs tell me a different story today
  4. Good - so it's not just me!
  5. I of course read this thread title completely wrong.

  7. Yep - about 2 months worth of running (for me) in a week! But I need to start somewhere
  8. Joined! I have a running problem - I suck at it. But I'll keep the bottom of the log warm for everyone!
  9. Suffering with shin splints. Took 3 weeks of running with my first run yesterday. Slow 2.5, shins felt good but stiff as hell today. Now just to build up slowly again. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  10. Haha!! Yes... I have a beard and I'm a proud member of the Tactical Beard Owners Club (verified and all!) Although I need to trim it - makes you more aero you know....
  11. Hello! New to this addiction! Bought a Titan Stryker Expert a month ago as a start and really enjoy riding it. Done 122km so far of which a few were the uphills on the Cradle loop - came close to dying but made me even more determined to get this cycling thing going! So: Cycling : in progress Running : in progress Swimming : todo Cheers!
