• I've been running once or twice a week for about 6 weeks, so again probably not enough but I got a 5k PR last week at 00:18:58 which I was happy with.

    This is a pretty good time in anyone’s book. I’ve been running for years and consider myself to be a decent level club runner (~3hr marathon) and my 5k pb is only just under 19min. Sounds like you have quit a lot of untapped running potential.

  • Thanks, certainly something I’d like to spend more time on. Finding the balance between training for bike races and the other bits is the challenge!

  • Yes, I did a couple of tris last year but really in the last 2-3 years the absence of a convenient swim venue means I’m basically a cyclist/runner. Focusing on two disciplines separately means I’m definitely a “master of none” in that I’m mid-back pack in cycling races (depending on discipline… again I’m a pathological dilettante) and mid pack runner. That said, I’m a better runner than most cyclists and a better cyclist than most runners and I have a good Diesel engine so I do ok in most Tris.
