Triathletes running a sub-33 almost certainly had years of running in their legs starting at least in high school and likely in college as well. So unless you have a pure running background and the genetics, good luck.
True. I was doing this (running sub 33 min 10Ks) when I first got into triathlon in my early 20's. I had come from a running back ground starting to get serious about the running at about age 15 - so it had been 5+ years of some higher level running prior to that.
When I got into triathlon, what fell by the wayside for running were those filler-runs, that really did nothing and I focused on the tempo runs, intervals and hill sessions more, with longer slower runs up to 2 hrs ounce per week in the true off-season.
