Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Halfpint- if you can do 8 miles on a bike, you can do 15 miles without too much effort. My training started in january with a very slow 5 mile bike ride round my park, I did 8 miles at the end of January, and by mid-march I was up to 15 miles and beginning to try and do it faster. I think I built up very cautiously. I don't think twice about doing 16-17 miles now, and am starting to think about 20+ with a sort of yearning. :-)

Katie - I did 20 miles a couple of weeks ago with the coach whos taking our beginners tri group. She took us 9ish miles out a fairly undulating road to allow us to do a 1 mile b@stard hill and then we had to cycle back of course :) I suppose its more whether I can do it after a swim and still have something left for a run after. I don't feel as if the swim takes much out of the legs - I just did 16 lengths of crawl in 8:52 :) I was a bit puffed but after a 10 second breather headed off for the remainder of my swim. I am loving the bike and have always been a natural swimmer its just the run thats an issue :(

holgs - I have done a couple of brick sessions and found it quite interesting and tough. I think my fitness has improved greatly over last few weeks tho and my legs feel a lot stronger for the cycling too :)

Have you practised getting off bike and running a mile? Or any distance? It's definately worth a practise. I did shorter bike rides, then the whole 3 miles, and the whole distance on bike and just a 10 minute run.

I wasn't sure how it would go for me either, I hadn't exercised for that long for ages!

My biggest problem is the ITB problem I have. Its painful when running. I did the 8 mile bike and 3mile run yesterday but I had to wait for my training partner to catch up before I set off on run so missed the 'brick' effect if that makes sense. I am repeating with different partner tomorrow and will hopefully head straight into run!!

I hope it goes well. I'd also practise getting off bike, running with bike and then running. :-)
