Training for events

[amy hanneman]

Hey Les,
I have signed up to do a sprint triathalon in May and a 1/2 marathon in June. Do you think I should train for the 1/2 marathon primarily and incorporate swimming and biking on my "easy days"? This will be my first time do either one and I am just not quite sure what my training should be.

Good question Amy, I too am looking for recommendations. Looks like I will be doing my first sprint triathlon at the end of May... I have to be careful with running, as I still have considerable pain with the impact of running due to a lower leg fracture a year and half ago. Hoping to hit the swimming and biking harder as I train, and just do as much as my leg will take for the running portion...
