Workouts in a Binder: Swim Workouts for Triathletes

(24 customer reviews)

Triathletes who hope to improve their swimming too often mix and match workouts or workout segments with no particular goal. The workouts in this set provide a handy, compact, inspiring — and waterproof — program. Written by an elite-level triathlon and cycling coach, and a former U.S. National Team swimming coach, the book comprises seven workout categories: Anaerobic Endurance Speed, Anaerobic Endurance Form, Force Speed, Force Form, Muscular Endurance Speed, Muscular Endurance Form, and Muscular Endurance Distance. The variety of workouts included and their ease of use keep the process engaging and allow users to more easily achieve elusive swimming goals. Workouts in a Binder can easily be used in conjunction with triathlon training manuals such as Training Plans for Multisport Athletes or The Triathlete’s Training Bible, or as stand-alone workouts for swimmers. Illustrated throughout, a bound set of waterproof workout cards for triathletes at all levels is also included.

Great Workouts Apr 18, 2010
Love the book and the workouts but waterproof is a bit of a stretch. If you want to keep it in book form for years to come, place it in a zip baggie before heading to the pool!

great for the pool! Mar 15, 2010
I see people at the pool with workouts on a piece of paper and stuff then I pull out my handy book and goto the next workout! If you like to swim but would like a structured workout I would recommend this!

maybe too good! Nov 24, 2009
This little water-proof book is fantastic. I keep it right at the gym and simply pick one of the many workouts (endurance, speed, form, force, etc...)and then hit the water. Each workout has a long and a short version so you can select based on how you are feeling that day or the event you are training for. One problem, running and biking have taken back seats to swimming!

Great workouts! Nov 11, 2009
Waterproof easy to use. Meant for serious swimming distances. Lots of codes to refer to-but does come in handy by the wet pool!

Confusing--should be organized along the type of Triathlon you want to do Jun 20, 2009
There's almost too much information here to pick and choose from. The codes and 'coach-talk' can be difficult to follow.

This book would be more helpful if it were organized along the lines of what you want to accomplish as a triathlete. For example: (1) Sprint Tri: do 'these swim workouts.' (2) Same with Olympic and Ironman distances.

She states '10 new workouts for Ironman distances' but then doesn't really state which workouts those are in the book.
