The CTS Collection: Training Tips for Cyclists and Triathletes

Rating:
Summary: Reprinted articles without technical substance
Review: I'm very disappointed in this book. The vast majority of the book are reprints from "Velo News" and "Inside Triathlon" with subtle changes. This is nice bathroom reading but hardly helpful with any actual training advice. Perhaps I had the wrong idea of the content. When I get my training program far enough along to look back in retrospect at what a great idea adopting the CTS philosophy was then maybe I'll pick this book up again and privately commiserate with the contributing authors that have had success. If your looking for a "How to" guide to putting together a training program then I would not recommend this book. If your like me and need help getting a structured approach to training then I'd recommend "The Triathlete's Training Bible" by Joe Friel.
