Summary: training bible....
Review: Training bible? Maybe for the top 5% of triathletes worldwide. But seriously though, I enjoyed reading the historical references and the way the author used evidence based data to solidify his arguments. However, at many points in the book, I found the authors writing style kind of dry and uninteresting. The section on periodization nearly put me to sleep (and I'm usually into that stuff). I didn't like the chapter where he used peoples personal training stories and regimens, I couldn't relate to that schedule. If you are like most recreational triathletes and don't have forever and a day to train, this may not be the first book to consider.

Summary: Mortals need not apply
Review: With all due respect to the author; unless you are training for the olympics or an Ironman, do not get this book. This book was rated for experienced triathletes, definitely not for beginners or novices. Too technical and scientific and a very dry read. Hire a coach, you're better off.I'm a runner and am venturing into Triathlons. In a few years I may be able to understand this book and it may be of some value.
