Customer Review: a classic
This book is key in begining a triathlon lifestyle. The calculations that are required for the year-round training program seem labourous but once you get started, it is well worth your time. The section on bike maintenance is simple and includes most everything to make you feel like you’ve been doing the sport for years. Great!
Customer Review: Great for beginners
This is a good book for everyone thinking about triathlons. It offers good advice on choosing equipment, techniques and training programs.
Instead of relying on distance, its programs focus on time and percentage. Since biking encompasses usually 50% of the race, training should focus 50% on biking (unless you’re very weak in one of the other legs).
It offers sample worksheets to set up your own program, based on the type of triathlon-sprint to Ironman.
