laying out a training plan

Message posted by: Michael G.

I have completed one season consisting of 4 triathlons 2 sprints, 1 olympic and 1 half in florida. I am very excited about getting better a this sport i have found but i am having trouble figuring out a good training plan. currently my training is as follows:

mon-20m bike, tues-AMswim 1 mile for time PMrun 5K speed, wed-20m bike, thurs-swim 500meters warm up/cool down 10X50meter sprint on 50sec, friday-brick 1000meter swim to 20mile bike, saturday-off, sunday run 10k

Now that i am interested in pushing my distances in all of these is it best to push swimming one week running another and biking another, or should i just have a hard week and an easy week……what are some of the ways that yall split these up….being new to the sport i would like to avoid injury as much as possible!!
