Strong swimmer but weak runner

Customize away! Using the swim and bike from the Sprint - 2x Balanced - 16 Week plan and replacing the run stuff with the couch to 5k plan is a great idea.

I'd do it in that order: import the swim and bike from the tri plan first, then import the run plan. You won't overwrite any swim or bike data.

Full details on how to import specific parts of training plans can be found in this article.   Good luck and let us know if we can answer any more questions.

I'm kinda in the same predicament. I did my 1^st Sprint Tri in Hyannis this year and did fine in the swim, surprise, and the bike, which is my strong event. In the run I struggled. Here are my times swim 0.25, 9:08 , Bike 10 mi. 36:58 an the run 3.5 mi.  39:48 .  I don’t post these numbers to impress anyone. The bike includes both T1 and T2, bummer.  I had really old ladies pass me running. I don’t care because think of how many people just wish they competed or finished. I’m a Clysdale and  running at 40 yrs. Old and 220lbs. isn’t the same as running at 140lbs when your 22yrs old. I know that is really slow and frankly I’d rather enter a chicken wing eating contest after the bike leg then run 3.5 miles. My body type is weight lifter or  body builder. That’s what I have to work with, I’ve been running 1.0 miles runs recently to try to get to an 8:30 mi pace with great success! Today I ran an 8:47 mile, and that’s progress not perfection. If you’re here posting and then your in the right place. I finished my 1^st Tri 1:29:55 and I plan to finish my next under 1:20:00 . You go for it and don’t worry about the numbers, just finish and you will feel the a great rush from your finishing your race.

No, I'm probably  doing things the hard way. I checked out your swim times and you are much more distance then I did. My workouts are public too.  I could use some swim coaching and have asked around. I belong to two different gyms that have huge pools and they look at me like I'm crazy when I ask about triathlon swim coaching. God, is it that strange ! but anyway your swim looks strong, keep it up. You’ll just great things!
