5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for the self-coached triathlete Nov 6 2012
By David aggett
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a self-coached, masters age group triathlete with 19 years experience. I'm also a numbers person. After years of looking for one reference source to tie together all the science and anecdotal information behind succesfully training for and safely competing in triathlon, I finally found it in this book. I've been a fan of Friel's "Training Bible" books for some time, but this book has made obsolete almost my entire library of training material. Joe has demystified the concepts of periodization, training-effort levels, heart rate versus power meter feedback, base, build, peak, race, recovery, endurance, force, strength, and skills training so that even this old warrior gets it. This is not a technique book. For that, go elsewhere. But for someone looking for an annual framework to plan out the duration, type and intensity levels of all their workouts, this is it. If I had only one improvement to suggest, it would be that the author provide a download, in spreadsheet format, that would allow the athlete to input their personal data and goals, and generate an annual plan on the computer, rather than rely solely on a paper and pencil method. Other than that, this book hit the nail on the head for me. Highly recommended, except to those guys in my age group. I'd rather they not have the advantage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book if you want lots of background April 11 2011
By DKroll - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is ideal for anyone who wants to improve their training strategies. Many of us dive into the sport of triathlon ready to "hit the ground running" and unfortunately, never take methodical steps to build the basic and essential components to succeed in endurance racing. "Your Best Triathlon" may have saved me from a few frustrating years of questioning my athletic progress and potential. I also appreciate Friel's scientifically sound reasoning behind many endurance principles and training regimens. Great for workout planning AND leisure reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly useful for any triathlete Jun 1 2012
By Brooke the 3rd - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the most useful and interesting book that I've read on training. I've actually read it cover-to-cover, which is weird.

Here's what you get: complete training schedules for Sprint, Olympic, Half-Ironman and Ironman. Given - at best - around 25 weeks to your main race of the season, training is broken down into parts: Prep, Base 1-3, Build 1 and 2, Peak and Race.

The phases are addressed separately, so you get a Prep chapter, 3 Base chapters and ... you get the picture. The chapters address specific training skills for each sport at each level e.g. several specific speed drills for bike pedaling during Base 1. But they also address and evolve your internal process. It's thorough, specific and often original.

I worried I would need to read his earlier book but it wasn't necessary.
