Description

Going Long is the most comprehensive guide to racing long-course triathlons ever written. Combining science with personal experience, Friel and Byrn prepare every triathlete, from the working age-grouper to the podium contender, for success in triathlon’s ultimate endurance event. Sport-specific chapters outline training for each triathlon discipline and describe drills to improve form and efficiency. A newly expanded section on training the mind explores the all-important psychological aspects of racing, including goal-setting and visualisation. A detailed appendix includes key training sessions, workout examples, and strength training progressions. Going Long has long been the best-selling book on the subject of training for the long course. With expanded content and a new, two-colour format, this second edition is once again the premier sourcebook for triathletes who are serious about succeeding in the long-course distance.

 


Customer reviews for 'Going Long: Training for Triathlon's Ultimate Challenge (Ultrafit Multisport Training Series)'

«Goes the distance»

Good balanced book suitable for an experienced triathlete seeking to improve on a training plan.

«Good Tips»

This book is not for the beginner. You should have a base to start with... and not talking about the base talked about in the book, but if you are just starting out, probably not the book for you. However, if you a recreational or competitive tri athlete this book has many good tips for breaking into the next level.

«Informative and easy to follow»

This is essential reading for anyone attempting their first IM or long-distance event. Unlike some of Friel's previous publications, this book is quite easy to follow and does not get too bogged down on technical aspects of training (lactate threshold, Power wattages etc). Some of the technical information is still contained in this book but it is not as overbearing. There are also useful snippets for newbies. This is a book that I periodically pick up and read a few pages. It was also useful in putting together a training plan leading up to the big event. Overall, a must-have for newcomers to this distance and a useful reference book for more experienced triathletes.
