What muscle workouts can build muscles used in running?

I’m an athlete and I’m getting a gym membership this winter. Are there specific leg workouts I can do to improve certain aspects of my running, such as explosion and long distance stamina? Any insight into specific muscle workouts and what part of running they help with would be appreciated.

What tips do you have for someone in their first triathlon?

I have always wanted to do a triathlon and would like to start with a sprint in the next year or so. Any tips? I’m not too concerned about the physical challenge of it, I’m an athlete and plan to train. I think what I’m most nervous about is the logistics of it! Will I figure it out? Should I go check one out and see what the transitions are like before I attempt it?

What is a respectable completion time of 40 mile bike leg of Triathlon,?

Experienced athlete, novice cyclist competing in first Triathlon. Breathing is fine as I do alot of running, cardio, etc. and I have some time to train before the event. I don’t expect to win the cycling leg, but would like to be competitive. What time should I set as a benchmark for a 40 mile cycle circuit for race day?
Terrain is compacted cinder gravel. I rode a brief portion of the trail today (10 miles) on my road-bike and it was a pretty bumpy ride at times. (The trail is open to hikers, bikers, and horseback year round resulting in hoof indentations, etc). Competitors can use mountain/road/recumbent bicycles. I’ve opted for Road for speed potential.
