Book Reviews of Triathlon Training in Four Hours a Week

Book Review: So-so
Summary: 2 Stars

This book is full of motivational speeches and brand promotions, but light on actual training advice. As a former competitive swimmer, I noticed that some of the advice in that area was actually wrong, so I started wondering whether biking and running sections have errors too.
