Book Reviews of The Triathlete's Training Bible (2nd Edition)
Book Review: Excellent Coverage
Summary: 5 Stars
The amount covered in the book and the quality in which it was presented is absolutely the highest of positive adjectives. I recommend this book for those in search of a Triathlon Training instruction book, whether you're new to the sport or a veteran of any level. The bases are hit very well, the main points drawn on with accurate, relavent detail. Get this book.Book Review: TTB is the triathlete's training authority
Summary: 4 Stars
There is no better resource for a triathlete than "The Triathlete's Training Bible". Nothing is left out. Don't expect to find canned training plans. By reading this book, you will learn how to create your own customized training plan. Hiring a personal trainer is the lazy alternative.
I could have done without the "history" lesson in the nutrition chapter. Still had some good information, though.
If you're a triathlete, especially a beginner, TTB should definitely be on your wishlist.
Book Review: Serious
Summary: 5 Stars
For the recreational triathlete this book will be a bit overkill. However, if you are seriously wanting to bring your times down to a competetive level or if you are wanting to embark in an Ironman (or even 1/2) distance race, the tools offered here will greatly aid you. From how to plan your season, structure your training to peak at just the right time, measure your progress and workouts to target your specific goals; this book will give you the knowledge you need to step it up.
I was also a fan of the Cyclist Training Bible (by the same author) long before this book this came out. You'll find the information in both scientifically sound, tested, trusted, enlightening and will no doubt help improve your performance no matter where you're at now.
Book Review: If you could only buy one book about triathlon this would be it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best books on triathlon I know of!
Very complete book with the research to back it up.
Still use is to look thing up after 2years.
Book Review: A MUST for a new triathlete!
Summary: 5 Stars
The primary value I found in this book was in formulating a nutrition plan for an Iron-distance race. Very helpful.
