Subject: HELP - Training A Friend
Aloha Everyone:

I need some help. I've convinced a friend to participate in the New Orleans 70.3 with me April 19th. I'm looking for a training program for a beginner. He has no real experience in swimming or biking and just started running. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Although I have participated in an HIM, sprints, olympics, marathons and 1/2 marathons, I'm looking for help training a newbie.

Thanks everyone.

Plenty of training plans on this site.  I'd look at those and start with getting them some swim lessons ASAP.  Hopefully your friend has a decent athletic background (or is a very good sport) and is committed to training.  Otherwise, a HIM might not be the best way to introduce them to the sport.

When I swim I struggle to get a full breath and consequently run down faster. I spend part of my training on the side of the pool gasping for air.
