training plan for a newbie

hi all , only just got into this cycling lark after many years playing footy .i always thought i was fairly fit till i tried riding. it seems to use a completely different set of muscles to football . even so i think i ve caught the bug for it. i was just wondering if anyone had any advice for a training plan to help me improve. my time is a little limited i can fit 2x 30min/1 hr sesion in a week ( tue and thurs ) and a longer ride at the weekend.
any tips?

It covers a huge amount of territory and a lot of it is aimed at beginners.
It's a bit pricey for a mag (œ6) but i had a long train journey yesterday and succumbed - it was a good read and well worth it.

Good luck with the bike.

If you are aiming to do a 100 mile ride your training methods will be different to if you are planning to get faster and faster at 10 mile time trials. Building up fitness to commute 10 miles each day to work would be different again. Or doing a Lands End to JoG. Etc.
