Triathlon: Achieving Your Personal Best

Rating:
Summary: Informative- but some aspects out of date.
Review: A very comprehensive manual for triathlon with contributions from well qualified and respected authors in their specialised fields. Full of practical information and examples. Generally following very sound principles, but some of this information is out of date. The training intensity guidelines and methods for determining them are out of date. The author now currently advocates a different method to determine this. Good for the overall structure of training and periodisation, but be careful, the heart-rate guidelines may be too high.
