I am currently taking some time off to hopefully heal from a nagging glute injury but hope to be back soon and looking at trying Duathlon. My question is will the Training plan take in to consideration that I’m an experienced cyclist but newbie runner? I don’t want to begin too hard in running and get injured and have to stop both as a result. Thanks!

Hey,
So exciting- a new journey!
Use your expertise from cycling to tune in with your body. How many times a week do you run at the moment?
Thankfully Athletica’s plan is quite conservative exactly to keep you healthy -and not overdoing it, but you always have the workout wizard to change a workout from running to biking (go to injury tab). Also you can just delete a session.
Consider to change up the surface you run on, start with grassy/gravel trails: your legs will appreciate it.
I would start with two runs per week and build up frequency before building up distance/run.

I do not currently run as a couple of years ago I was with a different program and I think it pushed too hard and I became injured. I want to try it again as I really do like running as well as cycling so looking to go easier this time hoping to avoid injury. Basically a couch to 10K I guess is best way to describe it.
