Jimmy Whelan is the former EF Education WorldTour cyclist who, after retirement, became a competitive runner — and one of the most useful guides for cyclists trying to add running into their week without injury. His perspective matters because he has the bike fitness most amateurs aspire to AND the running mechanics most cyclists lack, which makes his guidance on shoe choice, aerobic intensity, and the cyclist-specific traps of jumping into running unusually credible. For Roadman's audience trying to add running without losing their cycling base, he's the right starting point.
