Louise: Previous GB U23 1500m runner and National cross country champion, I have experienced a very frustrating past eight years with many strange, undiagnosed injuries. I started to swim as a form of cross training with Manchester Triathlon club in August 2010. After a few months I began to improve and am now at a standard where next year I could compete professionally as a Triathlete. So, do I stick to running or do I give triathlon a go? This blog is going to record my journey from a 1500m runner into a triathlete...and back again? I will hopefully be competing in the British Triathlon Super Series 2012 and then hope to produce PBs in 1500m and 3000m and maybe even try a 5000m on the track? Follow my blog to see training updates, race updates, my thoughts on how I am progressing and my daily life as I try and adjust to a triathlon training programme.

It's time to train
