Try the tri

As something of a fair-weather runner - albeit very occasional, even when the sun shines - the lighter evenings and ever so slightly warmer weather means that I am finding fewer excuses to avoid doing a spot of exercise when I get home.

But as happy coincidence would have it, now is the perfect time for me to dust off my trainers and get outside. For in just a few months, the first ever Liverpool Triathlon will be taking place.

On the 21st June, more than 1,000 people are expected to be running, swimming and cycling around the city's iconic waterfront in aid of their preferred charities, or maybe just for the fun of it (and I have been assured that there is fun to be had.)

We are encouraging the city's businesses to get involved by submitting relay teams, whereby one team member cycles, one swims and one runs. And if you needed any more persuading, there are even a number of training and advice sessions scheduled, including one especially for first timers.

Furthermore, now is the time to start getting a beach-body ready for summer. So, come on, there really is no excuse!
