When I was running I preferred sprints, as distance nothing longer than 5K. I ran plenty of 5 milers and 10K's, even trained for and did a 1/2 marathon and a marathon. The distance training killed me... my body hated the impact and I started resemling an AAMCO transmission ad, parts falling out everywhere.

With cycling I'm not sure yet what will be my stronger suite. I love speed, descending is a blast, climbing makes me swear like a marine. I just don't know... with my build (long/lean and gettin' older) I'm guessing climbing wouldn't be a natural fit.
