4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book,
By Amy Holden (Philadelphia, Penn.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Triathlon Training in Four Hours a Week: From Beginner to Finish Line in Just Six Weeks (Paperback)
I liked this book very much. I have run a lot of 5k's and thought the triathlon would be a logical next step. I saw an ad for Eric Harr's book in Runner's World -- and thought "Why not? I live once!" I have really enjoyed reading this book. Eric Harr seems like a pretty deep guy and gives you a lot more to think about and do -- than simply training for a triathlon. He talks about things like racing on behalf of a charity to inspire yourself more. I love his nutrition chapter and meal plans and the strength-training chapter is very thorough and easy to follow. It's a touching book, too and focuses on the emotional aspect of this whole process. Great book. I would give it five stars, but he's got SOOO many fans who all worship him and give him five stars (you should see the reviews for his other book!) that I had to give him four, to keep his ego from exploding! But, between you and me, it's a 5-star book! ;)
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great 1st Tri manual,
By "liz1822" (Connecticut) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Triathlon Training in Four Hours a Week: From Beginner to Finish Line in Just Six Weeks (Paperback)
I just finished my first triathlon this month, used this book to get me started and keep me motivated. It has different training levels for different people, great workouts and stretches, even advice for what to eat while training. There's also a bunch of inspirational stories and reminders which are very helpful for novices. Great raceday tips and checklists too! Like some of the other readers, I used this book to get me started and now i'm searching for more triathlons!

Book Didn't Just Change My Life...It SAVED My Life!,
By Claudia Cooper (Sacramento, Calif.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Triathlon Training in Four Hours a Week: From Beginner to Finish Line in Just Six Weeks (Paperback)
I was recently diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, after being overweight and eating too much sugar for years. This was a devastating blow to me, emotionally and physically. My doctor actually suggested I pick up a copy of Eric Harr's book -- to work my way slowly back to exercise. I began with the basic, Level I program in the book and it was a nice, gradual process. I am feeling so good these days. My doctor says my "good cholesterol" is up and "bad" is down. I've lost 14 pounds and I am aiming for my first triathlon in 3 weeks. I feel like Eric Harr's book has saved my life, because I used to hate exercise and I always ate poorly. Now, I'm on a new track because of this book. I can feel myself LIVING again. If you want to change your life -- and have fun learning how to be healthy again -- buy this book. It is a lifesaver.
