    I've never done a triathlon so I can't comment on that, however with the running it's just a case of building up your distance gradually and also working on your speed too.

    I would work on the distance first though as i would imagine the triathlon will require you to run more than the 3.4/5 mile you can currently run considering you are doing 5.2mph for 40mins.

    Build up in 10% increases every week, this will help your body adjust both physically to the weight bearing exercise you are doing and also for your fitness.
