So, I have a question. Experienced triathletes, how do you train? Do you all have coaches? Online coaches? Follow some structured program? My husband will never let me spend $200 a month on coaching for my new hobby. Is there a plan in a book I should follow if I want to improve for next year? I was looking at Beginner triathlete--does anyone have experience with their training plans? And, what do you think would help?

I just did my first triathlon, and I had fun, but I want to be faster for next year. My method of training for this one was, try to swim twice a week, bike twice a week and run 2-3 times a week.

Thanks!
