i'm now about 3 weeks into my new discipline of running.
i'm still cycling but as the season has virtually ended, i'm now putting on the trainers more often.
Well, now i know how i enjoy it, i have considered a duathlon in october and a 10k (my 1st ever) in november.
The point is, when i am in the time trial season, i punish myself with hard training and hard racing week in week out, it keeps me fit but i'm hard on myself and it's mentally tiring.
BIG question is, how can i be competetive without going down the punishment route again.
i want to race but i want to enjoy the training and racing.
How soon should i see improvements in my current 5k p.b of 22 mins.
