After having calculated my heart rate zones more-or-less accurately, I've been going out for time-based Zone 2 runs, and they are so slow! This book acted as a second coach to me during my triathlon journey as I went from Olympic level to 70. I've completed to IRONMAN triathlons with no organized training, just making up workouts that I *think* I should be doing. The third edition of the best Ironman triathlon training book in the market, this updated volume contains time-efficient training methods that have been honed over the years and have been proved to aid anyone in achieving their athletic dreams--from beginners to experienced competitors.

Paperback book is around 280 pages with 100 of those pages dedicated to workout plans already drawn out. The bonus of that is that I'm then in great shape to go straight from recovery into marathon training for October. Unfortunately I had to stop training because of my schedule, but I will get back into it as soon as I can. There is a lot of useful information in here for successfully completing Iron-distance triathlons, and yes, I want to become someone who's maybe in the middle of the pack, instead of towards the end. Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages.If you are a busy person then this book will help you with time management when it comes to training.

That sounds like a lot, but somehow it will have you believing that the Ironman is accessible with its time management tips and VERY clear training programs. I've been following the specific swim workouts in the book, which are very interval-based, and I *hope* that they are making me stronger.

The essential workouts with exercise photography * The training cycle * Core training * 30-week training programs * Effective time management * The principle of gradual adaptation * Effective heart-rate training * Proper technique * Equipment tips * Race and pre-race strategies * Mental training * Effective goal setting and race selection * Nutrition * And much more. Really like the concept/plan and want to use the Intermediate training plan for the 2010 full ChesapeakeMan.

Absolutely every single aspect of the Iron competition is detailed here, but in a simple enough way that is impossible to get lost in the programs, tips and general advices. The included training plans are a useful way to gauge how much to do early in the season when there's too much temptation to go too fast, too long, too soon.
