Hi Bill,

Thank you for contacting TriathaNewbie.com!

Although we don't provide customized workouts, we do recommend a couple of things:

Check out your local gym, YMCA or community center to see if it offers a triathlon training program. Training with others is a great day-to-day encouragement and they normally have a professional staff person who can make great suggestions on how to improve what you’re doing.

Let us know how it goes!

Be well,
~Jack
