Triathlon Training

Make sure your next race is your best with the programs in Triathlon Training. Choose from six race specific programs: two for sprint distances, two for Olympic distances, one for the half Ironman, and one for the Ironman. The sprint and Olympic programs include target race times, so you can choose the program best suited to your training and ability level.

Technique instruction and training drills for the swim, bike, and run will shave time off each phase of your performance. Recommendations for equipment, nutrition, and supplements give you the support for training and performing at the highest level. And, because injuries are prevalent in the sport, Triathlon Training advises how to prevent the most common triathlon injuries and prescribes treatment and recovery measures for various injuries.

Developed in consultation with USA Triathlon and the British Triathlon Association, Triathlon Training will improve your performance and enjoyment in the sport.

5Has It All!  Feb 05, 2010
This book has everything you need to know about triathlon training, from sprint triathlons to the full ironman. Here are the following topics covered in the book: origins of triathlon, getting the right gear (very helpful), swim, cycle, run, tackling your training, nutrition, race day, aches and pains and the world's greatest races. The book has great/realistic pictures. It covers the right gear you need to be successful from breaking down what you need and what you can do without. It also gives training programs for all levels of triathlons and it very easy to understand. This book has it all.

5Great seller, Quick Shipping  Sep 14, 2009
Training for Triathlons is a lot easier after reading this, I read it quickly and followed several workouts and already feel stronger after a couple weeks.

5Excellent book about triathlons  Jun 26, 2008
I am new to triathlons but have been an avid runner for years. This book thoroughly describes how to become a triathlete. It has detailed training plans for anyone from a beginner to an experienced triathlete. I can see myself using this book for years to come.

5Great for the very beginner interested in testing themselves  May 27, 2007
The book breaks down tough terms and products with recommendations on the best overall gear to use during the race. The fitness plans forced me to take a serious look at my swimming endurance. I can run and bike but the book helped me train my way into this critical portion of the race.

3Belongs on the coffee table...  Jan 09, 2006
The best *looking*, but far from best, book I've found on triathlons. Its heavy, glossy pages with full-color photos make it very appealing on the surface, but sadly it lacks any depth. It offers cursory explanations of various aspects of the sport, and sprinkles in a little bit of good advice here and there, but that's about it as far as content goes. It fails to include some crucial aspects of training - such as weight training - completely!

In the end, this book is ultimately better suited for your coffee table than your bookshelf. Complete newcomers to triathlons may get a little out of it, but I think anyone seriously interested in the sport would be better off reading The Triathlete's Training Bible by Joe Friel.
