Hey, I have written over 220 articles on things Swim-Bike-Run. You will find a lot of info on this blog. Failing that, google your question, or send me the question. I will do my best to answer it, or to find someone else who can help.<\/p>\n
I might pick up an injury.<\/strong><\/p>\n Give us a call, we do runners leg assessments, bike setups and myofascial release. We exist to help you move without pain.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t have the money. <\/strong><\/p>\n This gets a bit more tricky. Leave out cycling and swimming. Cycling equipment is expensive and swimming requires you to take out a gym membership. Running is the best option. A good pair of running shoes are expensive, but it is worth the investment.\u00a0 Don\u2019t skimp on shoes. An injury caused by wearing the incorrect shoes can be a lot more expensive. Also, runners at this point don’t have to pay toll fees.<\/p>\n I am scared of starting.<\/strong><\/p>\n No room for fear. Just get going. All advance has an element of fear and risk involved. Your body was designed to move. You need to get out there.<\/p>\n It will be too hard.<\/strong><\/p>\n Anything worth doing is hard. Learning to walk was perhaps one of the most difficult things you were ever faced with and you pulled that one off. You can do this.<\/p>\n I am afraid of what my friends and family might say if I start an exercise program.<\/strong><\/p>\n Your real friends will encourage you. Stuff the rest. You will shut the critics up when you post your first medal on Facebook or Instagram.<\/p>\n \u201cBetter to be safe than sorry\u201d \u2013 Isn\u2019t that a good life motto?<\/strong><\/p>\n No. Imagine that you knew that you were going to die tomorrow and you start to look back on your life. Two things will stick out in your memory: the times when you showed love, and the risks you took. Trust me, you will not be looking fondly at the gold watch presented to you for your 40 years of service at the same company.<\/p>\n I have never done anything like a ______ before. (Put the word, Midmar \u2013 94.7 Cycle Challenge \u2013 Marathon) in the gap. <\/strong><\/p>\n Just like you never went to school before your first day. You did a number of things for the first time like: peed in the loo, brushed your teeth, drove a car, had your first kiss\u2026<\/p>\n My family will miss time with me.<\/strong><\/p>\n Maybe your exercise time will increase your lifespan, which in turn will give your family a bit more time with you. This is not golf that we are talking about. You can increase fitness during a 45 minute run.<\/p>\n My disability won\u2019t let me.<\/strong><\/p>\n I have had the privilege of swimming the Midmar Mile with Craig Deitz. Craig has no legs or arms.\u00a0 One of my friends, Pieter Du Preez is a C6 quadriplegic. He has the use of just 15% of his muscles. He has completed two full Ironman races among many other \u2018impossible\u2019 achievements. Below is a picture of Pieter and myself crossing the line at Trirock 70.3 in Durban.<\/p>\n![\"14](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sbrsport.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/excuses-main.jpg\")
