haha cyclist! , well played

I was just wondering if there are triathlons where one person swims , another person bikes and the third person does the run..I have a friend who is a very good swimmer and a buddy who is a strong biker and I will do the run. also..if this is an event, are there co-ed teams? my friends are intereste...

I like the idea of personalized coaching , I tend to push myself harder when I am running alone , but do love how much fun a team can have before and after workouts.

I was just wondering...is it true that team training helps more than running on your own or with a few other runners? I have been running on my own or with a freind between cross and track and I have always got more out of my training when im not with a team..I think im a selfish runner , so running...

thanks for the advice everyone ...I am willing to put in the work for this.
what are the distances for each event? running is 10k? I have seen so many different types of tri's I dont know how far the race really is.

so..I have always loved to watch the triathlon and I know a few friends who have raced a few. What im wondering is , I am not a strong swimmer , but I have been running / biking for the past ten years. I like to go fast but im worried that my swimming will slow me down by a lot. Is it possible for m...

I check their website a few times a week. I dont know how Lauren King did yet , I was just trying to find out.

im a big fan of these runners , I would love to train with them some day , their such amazing runners

I voted for half marathon..But I would also like to keep my speed , I have ran a 4:14 , in the 1500 meter. So I wanna take a crack at the mile..see how fast I will run it. I need to have a half marathon plan that will help me keep my speed becuase last track season I was training as an 800 meter run...

I wouldnt even think about it.

the best part about getting a PB is knowing that all the hard work and all the pain you put up with has paid off.

on any run that I dont care about my times..I ALWAYS listen to Bruce Springsteen!

just got home from the gym..good workout, going back later for run on the treadmill, should be a blasstt

Thanks for all the help everyone! I am going tomorrow to buy a few different kinds..test them out and see what works best for me.

also..I have heard of runners who take jelly beans on their runs..is this true? and does it have the same outcome as some running jels?

fast 5k done today..not a big fan of all the ice everywhere.
off to the gym at 8 for a strength workout

their times are so fast, I have trouble hitting a 4:40 mile once, these guys are crazy!

welcome!!

im thinking about getting one too...it would help for days like today..my run is going to be rough in this weather.

Thanks for all the help and info , I havent found anything that works for me yet..most of it is to sweet..

welcome!...is she here yet? lol

hills and 5 DONE..SO cold..builds character!
