Triathlon Training

Question
Mr. DeHart:

I am currently trying to lose weight and train for a triathlon (probably at the sprint distance at this point.)

I'm sure my current weakness will be the run.  In the past I have suffered from pretty severe shin splints, and so have shied away from including running in any of my workouts.  Therefore, I am the most out-of-shape of beginners (although I can swim and bike with the best of them.)

Can you advise on how to begin a workout regimen and train for a 5k, keeping in mind that while I'm losing weight, I am still losing - and I'm a total beginner?

Thanks so much for your help!
Lorena

Dear lorena
In order to properly address your situation and maximize your performance at your up coming triathlon and your weight loss I will need a profile on you such as height weight,,age.. how long you have been running and exercising..etc..etc.and also the date of the triathlon you will compete in.Get me this info and then we will get you started.
The very best to you
