Description: “Ride as much or as little, or as long or as short as you feel. But ride." --Eddy Merckx
Run, bike, run. That’s the mantra of duathletes, and I am proud to say I’m part of the club now. If you run and bike but don’t like swimming, this multi-sport experience is what you need. It’s fun and rewarding—challenging, yet attainable. Whether you’re considering a “du” or already signed up for one, here are a few tips to get you going.
Take Time to Train Properly
It’s important to train for the event, especially if you are a beginner. You can find free 6-week, 8-week, and 12-week training programs online. One of my favorites is the 12-week course by Esprit de She . Following a training program will prepare you for the event and help minimize your risk of injury by ensuring you are progressing at the right pace.
