I've used a training plan from Gale Bernhardt's "Training Plans for Multisport Athletes" and really liked it. I also once used a plan from an old Hersports + Fitness magazine...I didn't like that one. I think it was WAY too aggressive (even though it was billed as a plan for someone who is experienced, but not "elite"). I felt burned-out by race day and my run legs were less strong than they were in the Bernhardt "faster duathlon" plan.

As far as diet...I still need to work on that, and losing 20#s. I don't think an ideal duathlon diet would be really any different than that of any other endurance athlete.
Thanks Looking forward to this book. I have a great friend / ironwoman who has roped me into our spring festivals tri.. but I have no swimming interest/time. I want to do the DU first. and maybe do the TRI next year.
