Book Reviews of Serious Training for Endurance Athletes 2nd

Book Review: Thanks, Rob!
Summary: 5 Stars

I first met Rob Sleamaker 10 years ago as a member of the U.S. Triathlon Team. At the time, I was training for ultra-marathon events (double Ironmans, etc.) and trying to creatively build massive endurance capacity without destroying my body. Rob helped me to shape a balanced year-round approach that allowed me to use my hard workouts productively and ensured that I was also doing the right amount of "base" work.

Make no mistake, the plan I used was not for the casual athlete - it involved 5-6 hours/day of training at times and every day was planned almost a year in advance. But if you can use this book to shape a program that fits your needs, but that is based on Rob's principles, you will be a happy, balanced and very fit athlete whatever your degree of committment.

By the way, the attitude that Rob taught me to approach training with has helped me in my post-triathlon life, as well.
