Re: Training for a Triathalon in September..Need Help

Intervals plus one long run a week sounds like a good start.
For the intervals start with something like run 400m, rest 2min for 4 rounds. Next time decrease the rest to 1:45 etc. until you are down to 1min rest then change the distance, the number of rounds etc. etc. all the while focusing on increasing overall intensity.

Exactly what I was going to say, although my idea of interval training is a little different. I was going to recommend 2-3 weekly runs of like three miles with 3-4 short controlled sprints of say 50 yards imbedded in each run. Then do one long run of 6+ miles each week.
