I will be turning 50 April 2010 so - I signed up today for my first HIM next year in May. I am planning a Ironman in October 2010.  I have been doing international distances off and on since 1987.  I have been training for three months on the bike and running.  I will begin swimming in January.  I am currently working out 12 hours per week without doing any doubles.  Six of those hours are coming on Saturday and and Sunday.  This week I will begin doing doubles of running and biking about 3 times in a week.  I am doing a 1/2 marathon the first week in December.  I am doing a century ride the third week in November.   

I say all of this to point out that I have not structured my training. Basically I bike one day run the next and take off 1 day per week.  I have been doing long runs of 11 or so miles and long rides of 65.  I want to make sure I do the best job possible with my training in order to complete the HIM and IM next year.    Can anyone give me a link or book or any advice that I could use to structure my training more?


Thanks

I have found Dr. Skiba to be a great resource.

Scientific Training for Triathletes at www.PhysFarm.com is awesome.

See you in Orlando next year.

Why not look at previews of the various training plans available on BT and read the descriptions to get a feel for how training plans are set up and the methodology behind them?
