Joel friels training bible is great. Everything you need to know about training for triathlon. Highly recommend.

Alright. Quickly checking the results page for the 2016 USAT National Championships yields a 20:21 swim, 59:09 bike and 36:31 run(01:58:26 overall) for the male 20 - 24 age group winner. So you have to almost run your 5k pace for a 10k. Coming from a running background this should be the easiest step for you.

Without numbers for a 40k ITT and a 1.5k swim I can't judge your current swimming/biking fitness but you now have some numbers for orientation. So basically, same question as /u/propell0r: Have you finished an olympic triathlon yet and have some numbers for us?

Also, think about regeneration. You should dial in at least one rest week every 4 weeks and maybe even one rest day every week. Personally, I prefer doing 2 or 3 days with two trainings a day and have one full day of rest, but thats something you have to figure out yourself.

That all being said, you might want to think about getting a coach if you want to be competitive. Just because these people usually can structure your training to maximize your benefits. If you don't want to or can't do that:

  • What does your macro planning look like? Your periodization?
  • What are your biggest restricters in each of the disciplines?

    I might suggest that you take a look at Joe Friel's Triathlon Training Bible propably the most comprehensive ressource on triathlon training.
