Question on Olympic Training Program

since this is a beginner site, and wanting to make this 'easy as pie'  i based all my times on the 'back of packers.' i looked at various race stats and the times for the last ~2/3rds of the finishers - ignoring outliers.  most people regular to endurance will exceed the distances i provided, which is def ok!  but like the run time u mentioned...i dont want to kill total beginners to endurance by having them train 90m -120min (as i think your suggesting) for the run...as a newbie myself, i was fine in my tris by training to the distance and a little over...plus the option is always to walk as a beginner...i just want people to love the sport...i am not competitive though...if people want to be more competitive, they most certainly will want to train longer as u suggested, providing they have a decent pace.  these programs are just a 'skeleton' to get people into the sport to finish and have fun and not spend all the time training...u can definitely tailor them to suit your individual needs.

the swim times r longer as i dont want anyone drowning...i want to make damn sure they can do the distance on the slowest pace.  there is something very fearful about not touching  or seeing the bottom!

hope this explained my rational...im not saying its correct by any means, just a suggestion...SO....just multiply or divide the durations acrossed the board by numbers u feel comfotable with.
