Cross-training gone berserk: welcome to the 5-hour training day

Posted by simon on 2/27/2008 on simon's blog

Like most runners who can also ride a bike but swim like a soggy pipe-cleaner, I've often thought about trying a triathlon and immediately given up on the idea.

Another big factor has been the sheer amount of training triathletes do; not for me. And yet...

my Tuesday started with a 7.30am warm-up for a nicely intense track session with Ric Rojas: a series of alternating 400s and 200s with 200m jog/walk recovery between each effort, starting easy and getting progressively harder.

Ride a bike? Check out our sister site

Posted by simon on 2/22/2007 on simon's blog

Many of us ride bikes, too. Bikes have even infiltrated this site (thanks Bobby). So it's good timing that the Enthusiast group has just launched a wing-ding new road bike site YourCycling.com

I'm a runner and no bikie gear-head, but I do love the look of a nicely-set-up road bike, and I do follow the TdF every year, so it's great to have a sister site to drop in on.

Enthusiast-in-chief at YourCycling is Whitey Debroux, who is already getting plenty of stick from site visitors claiming he has a habit of falling off when turning his head to look at girls.
