Subject: Hi from 47yr old taking first steps Hi, I'm just starting out on the journey into becoming a triathlete.
I've cycled now for about three years and following a session with an osteopath who has finally resolved some back problems I had have started running again.
It turned out I have a slight leg length imbalance which was throwing knees, hips and back out. I followed up from this session with a gait analysis and fitting for running shoes at a local sports shop who recommended Saucony Guide 6. Feel great and other than the knee pain, shin splints and sore feet from 30 years between runs!
A friend at work loaned me the Andy Holgate book and I went on to Iron War and was hooked.
Starting swimming this week and that is probably the scariest prospect so far. After years of diving I breaststroke and nothing else so have been watching the Total Immersion vids on YouTube with the idea of trying that.
Will let you know how that goes.
Looking forward to joining in.
