Customer Review: An Outstanding Book!!
A fantastic book and on the “top two” of my recommended reading list for beginning triathletes. If you are going for detail and want in-depth and technical information on how to develop a training plan, go with the Triathlete’s Training Bible. If you want a solid overview of the sport of triathlon, this is the book for you.
Swim, Bike, Run is written in a very straight-forward style and gives sound, practical advice. I am an avid reader of “things triathlon,” so I’ve read just about every book out there. The most telling insight into how much I value this book is that this is the book that I consistently return to and read the night before a race. I also look to it for a “refresher” when I want to improve form/technique and when I am evaluating how my training is going mid-season. The swimming section is particularly effective and the illustrations greatly helped me on technique issues.
A great read and highly recommended.
Customer Review: An Average Overview of Triathlons
This was the 1st triathlon book I bought. It gives an overview of the equipment, types of training in chapters on swimming, running and riding, time requirments, nutrition and sample training plans.
It is NOT a training book perse. It will give the reader an idea of what it takes to start triathloning without overwhelming him and her.
I think Triathlon 101 is better but it’s a personal opinion.
