What are some of the benefits of cycling?
Cycling has a number of benefits like exercising your body and building your own self-image. Do you feel those benefits when cycling?
I definitely feel like it's improved my endurance and stabilized my mood, but that's all anecdotal. I wonder if there's anything harmful about these endurance sports?
There is the issue of knee pain, even professional cyclists suffer from knee injuries when they participated in a study.
Very interesting. I've never experienced it, but I'll be sure to keep an eye on it. What about triathlons? Do they pose any risks?
As long as you don't overtax your body, you should be fine, a majority of injuries comes from working too hard, especially in the running parts. What part of the triathlon are you primarily training for?
I've been working hard on improving my running, as it's my least favorite part of the triathlon. What are some ways to avoid injury while running?
Like your cycling, you got to not overtax your knees. It wears down your cartilage, but as long as you are taking plenty of rests between your training sessions I think you will do fine.
Great, I'll definitely keep that in mind as I continue my training!
Yes please do so, I don't want you to miss out on your hobbies due to preventable causes.
