How to Start Running as a Cyclist (Mistakes to Avoid) | Manon Lloyd

How to Start Running as a Cyclist (Mistakes to Avoid) | Manon Lloyd

Can a pro cyclist simply swap the bike for running shoes? 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️


In this episode of The Runna Podcast, hosts Ben and Anya sit down with Manon Lloyd, former Team GB pro cyclist and GCN presenter, as she swaps the velodrome for the road and trains for her first half marathon with Runna.


Manon shares the brutal reality of being a beginner again after years at the top of elite sport. She opens up about stepping away from performance-driven goals and shares specific challenges cyclists face when transitioning to running, including impact tolerance and the ‘ego trap’.


Highlights include:

🛑 The ‘Engine’ Trap: Why cyclists get injured


🧠 Ego vs. Reality: How to stop impatience from derailing your progress.


🩹 Injury Prevention: Specific advice for athletes coming from low-impact sports.

🤝 Community: Why running clubs and social support are vital for women in sport.


Packed with Coach Ben's running advice (covering shoes, mileage, and sustainable training tips), this episode is great for cyclists starting to run, if you’re returning from injury, or if you’re training for your first race!


🎧 Follow along for new episodes every Friday with Olympians, World Record Holders, and inspiring voices form the running community.
