Hello,
I am training for a triathlon that is taking place in a couple of months, my background is in cycling, and I don't have any trouble with the swim at all, but when I try and run I can manage about a quarter of a mile before I need to stop and rest, any ideas? or is running fitness entirely separate from cycling and swim fitness? Should I expect running to be so hard when I have been cycling in road races for years? Any suggestions would be appreciated

yes, its completely different leg muscles... try running slower and working on time and build it slowly...
running fitness is different (when i first got into tris i hadnt swam for ten years, and then only breast stroke and back stroke... i couldn't crawl ten metres when i first started tri training - why should running be any different?)
gotta build up your running with a decent running training plan which runs alongside your swimming and cycling Id say.
