Am toying with the idea of taking part in one in November. I've not really done any specific training but I run and ride so seems like a good way to get in some decent training for winter. I tried a run, followed by a ride yesterday and whilst the ride hurt, I could get used to it.
What's your experiences of duathlons? Is it better to do a mtb or road ride one? And what shorts do you wear - I'd never run in my cycling shorts, but equally, I'd never get on my bike without padding - is there a compromise between both (my running shorts have an inner liner but its not what I'd call padding nor is it comfy on the bike.
