Hope not to be hijacking the thread here!
Regular cyclist (a little under 6000km last year) but haven’t done a run in two years and that was a painful one off: hadn’t run in months and because my fitness was ok due to the cycling I went for a gentle 5k (just about sub 30min I think). Result: pain for a good couple of days.
Having stomped at speed on a tarmac downhill might partly explain (not being used to the impact etc), but since I’d like to try running again I’m wondering, is 5k potentially not the best first run in 2+ years even for someone fairly fit? should I aim lower and go from there? 🤔

Had a roadside mare like that not long ago under the pissing rain 😬 No fun, but made me take the plunge and buy a co2 pump thing, hopefully that might help?
Have looked at those rims as possible guinea pigs for a first home built set of wheels, so it’s good news they get good reviews, though I’d probably not risk going 20/24 for my 80kg frame...

Funny you should mention it - when I built it up I based it on an old fit which was built around a pretty relaxed position (ie a few spacers) but lately I've been considering moving the saddle forward as I've been moving towards the nose more than I probably should on a short saddle. Still find it very comfortable so haven't dared opening the can of worm that is changing the one element in the fit equation yet...!
