Book Reviews of The Triathlete's Training Bible

Book Review: If you buy only one book......
Summary: 5 Stars

My books shelves are loaded with training books and literature. This work (a past edition), is beyond a doubt in the top five of those books for actually being helpful. Do not get the impression that this is just a training program for men with information pertaining to only males. With very slight modification (common sense), it works just as well for women. I participate in biking, running and swimming (along with a number of other), but until this past year or so have not put them together. This book has been a tremendous help. I have to place myself in the novice class as to the triathalon, but certainly consider myself much more advanced in the individual portions. I have picked up numerous tips from this book and it has enabled me to "put it all together." The work is quite readable. I have had several of my friends, both male and female, who are experienced in this most difficult sport, read and comment on the copy I own. They are all in complete agreement that there is some great stuff in here. Do remember though, you are not going to be able to participate in a triathalon by just reading the book...you actually have to follow its advice and go out and work, work, work. All in all, I recommend this one highly and if my friend does not return it soon, I am going to be forced to either buy another or maker her an offer she can't refuse.
