An acquaintance of mine was very active triathlete in the 80′s and now, in middle age, wants to get back into triathlons.
Here’s a quick list of sites for beginners/returners to the sport looking to start a training regime.
- beginnertriathlete.com – several basic plans for free
- active.com – some training plans and lots of helpful articles
Another great resource, besides the Triathlon Workout Planner is the The Triathlete’s Training Bible
In print you can read Triathlete Magazine and Runner’s World for helpful for training tips and nutrition plans.

I have found this site very helpful: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/default.asp
you can download the basic plans for free (you just have to create a username and password).
I am also reading the Traithlete's Training Bible which I've found very helpful. Here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Triathletes-Training-Bible-2nd/dp/1931382425/sr=8-1/qid=1166556343/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-3582395-1886267?ie=UTF8&s=books
I also read Triathlon 101. Here's the Amazon link for it: http://www.amazon.com/Triathlon-101-Essentials-Multisport-Success/dp/0880118113/sr=8-14/qid=1166556383/ref=sr_1_14/103-3582395-1886267?ie=UTF8&s=books
I have also found Triathlete Magazine and Runner's World very helpful for training tips and nutrition plans. In addition, I have registered at active.com (you may have a username and password already if you have signed up for any races or events through their site). If not, it's also free, and you can sign up to have triathlon-specific articles sent to your email address. I've found these really helpful, too.
Good luck!
