Regular  97  Vancouver |  Subject: Athena starting new chapter with triHi Everyone! New to BT and newbie to tri. Long story but due to health issues and blatant sloth-like tendencies the weight has packed on over the years. Fortunately my health is on the mend and since I don't want to waste this second chance at life I have seriously started training. For some reason triathlon came to mind for helping me reach my goals. Some days I relish my choice in sport and other days I shake my head - lol! Feel confident in my swim & cycle abilities but the run portion is my nemesis. Still working at walking the 5km for sprint distance but having a hard time with it. Anyone else experiencing the same challenges? Look forward to getting to know more people via the forums |

Extreme Veteran 516 Chicago | Subject: RE: Athena starting new chapter with tri Welcome to BT Twink! And good job on making the decision to get fit. I'm glad you chose triathlon as your means to reach your health goals, I've done a few different sports myself and nothing has made a difference to me as much as tri. With you being comfortable with the swim you've already conquered a battle of many just getting into the sport. Even though you seem to dread the run, don't worry, it gets better, more enjoyable, and you may even find a love for it. Good luck! |

Champion 13323     Gold member | Subject: RE: Athena starting new chapter with tri How about giving the 16 week couch to 5k plan a try. It's very conservative approach to building up running could be just what you need. |

New user 13 | Subject: RE: Athena starting new chapter with tri The run is my rough part too. I'm really focusing on it this offseason. I've heard great things about the couch to 5k program, my friend loved it! |
