Any question answered...

This is cross-posted from the running thread, apologies. Thought it would be seen quicker here and I'm currently having a Twitter argument about this so need to come up with an answer....

I've just got back from my second run - 1.1 miles. Pretty poor, but I'm going to keep trying.

Thing is, a colleague started giving me grief for only running a mile. I said I'd kick his arse on a bike, he asid it was easy with the help of a machine, and I said we should do a race; part run, part bike, winner has shortest summed time.

Now, what distances are fair? I can hardly run, but even a novice cyclist can move fairly quickly.

Help?!

I'd say 1 part run to 4 or 5 parts cycle. That should sort out the novice cyclist from the keen cyclist.

Are you trying to hint that your training for a triathalon by any chance Sparky?

Fancy running together a couple of times a week?
