«Great Info»

I bought this for my hubby who is training for the AZ Ironman in NOV. He loves this book and feels it is loaded with great info. It was recommended to us by a friend who used it to train for an Ironman and he felt it was the best training book out there.

«Excellent Book»

Great book and if you follow the plans in it you will have a very successful race. Some say there should be a little more running speed work so that is my only question about the book.. I have done 2 IM and plan on IM AZ for this fall. I felt very prepared at both and know I will at this years race.

My husband used this book to train for his first triathlon event...he went from complete novice (had to purchase everything, bike, shoes...) and completed an IRONMAN in Switzerland. Now he's training again for another Ironman and his 65 year old father is going to participate too! This is the best step by step all you need to know book available!
