Book Reviews of The 12-Week Triathlete: Train for a Triathlon in Just Three Months
Book Review: Not enough content if your serious
Summary: 2 Stars
If you're seriously considering training for a triathlon then I wouldn't really recommend this book. Although it does provide some useful introduction to the sport it really doesn't give you enough content - and if you're not fit if you think you can pick this book up and train for an Ironman in 12 weeks then you'll suffer come the event! The 12 week schedules are not anything someone who is already fit couldn't think up themselves really.
A far better book (in my view) if you're serious about training for a triathlon is "Triathlon Training Bible" by Joe Friel, although this is heavy in content in places it gives a better feel for the sport. I believe there another book by Joe called "Your first Triathlon" which I've not read but given how valuable I find his other book this could be a better recommendation as a first read! Hope you've found this helpful!
