Hammer the Bike - Cycling in Triathlon with Heather St Amant of New Dimension Endurance Coaching

As far as cycling, in regards to running and stuff, in triathlon, I got into it because I was always injured running.

Yeah.

I was always injured.

And my coach at the time was like, well, why don't you do triathlon? And I was like, oh, my God, I haven't been on a bike since I was 12.

What am I going to do? Yeah.

A bike can

be scary too, not just a swim.

Especially the road bike is hard to feel comfortable with the little tiny tires.

Yeah, but it's a great cross-training avenue.

You still get the same type of gains as you were running.

You can still build up and get those same endurance gains, and you're not putting on that pounding, especially as you get older.
