Greatest Training Book Around,
By Tom E. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Triathlon Training (Paperback)
I've done 2 Ironman Triathlons and scores of sprints and 70.3's. This is the best book I have read about how to get started and keep going. It's easy to understand,and most important, correct. Everyone considering doing a triathlon, and people who are in it to stay should make this a must read.

Outstanding read for the everyday athlete,
By Thomas A. Yoder "Big T" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Triathlon Training (Paperback)
If you have any interest in triathlons or even any of the associated components, this is a must read. This is a simple, practical, and easy to understand guide that covers Triathlon from A to Z whether you are aiming for a Sprint or an Ironman version. This book, while directed at prospective triathletes, can also easily be applied to so many areas of life or athletics. It is about setting goals and preparing to achieve them and finding ways to deal with difficulties through attitude and perserverence.Along the way, it is also a wonderful guide to the components of preparing for a triathlon. Simple, but very important things such as the increased benefits of stretching warm muscles (vs. cold muscles) are highlighted. From biking gear to butt kicks, these guys spare no important detail in laying out how anyone (not just elite athletes) can start from scratch and work through the steps to become a triathlete. You don't have to be contemplating a triathlon at the moment to get tremendous return from this relatively inexpensive guide to triathlon training. Anyone who has the least interest in fitness, nutrition for athletics, running, swimming, biking, or training for any athletic endeavor will have a hard time putting this book down. 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful

I found this an easy to read and understand resource for the sport of triathlon. I have done a few shorter distances and this book has both peaked my interest and given me confidence to take on the next distance.I like how it is organized... covers all the bases with good tips and photos throughout. Highly recommended! Allen |
