I’m brand new to tri and workout with a hybrid bike but have been told everyone uses a road bike. I don’t have clip ins with my current bike so I’m just wearing regular tennis shoes when cycling.
All that to say, is it time to just get rid of my hybrid and purchase a road or will I be okay to train and race with my hybrid?
I have been doing reformer pilates 1x/week for 4 months. My form has gotten better and I’ve learned most of the moves but it hasn’t gotten easier. If anything, things have felt a lot harder. On top of that, I haven’t seen any results. I’m feeling slightly discouraged and even thought about ending my membership. I look around the room and I’m the only one taking breaks.
For context, I’m fairly athletic and try to go on runs and generally stay active when I’m not doing Pilates. I’m wondering if Pilates is for me.
