Book Reviews of The Triathlete's Training Bible
Book Review: Mambo jambo
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a regular 3 a week gym workout kind of guy (4 years now) who recently decided to get into endurance sports. Unfortunately I received minimal information from this book. I was looking for insider information on technique and multisport workout do's and don't, but ended up reading mostly about theory. The 1st 40 pages or so were purely on attitude, commitment and what it takes or something of the kind. Barely anything concrete on multisports. I did find a couple of useful pages on different training theories and technique itself, but only minimal. Don't mean to trash this book, but it just did not meet my expectations.Book Review: If you want to know HOW , read it
Summary: 5 Stars
Thanks for this Book. With some knowledge of sport, your will enjoy the WHY's and HOW's of Tri. This book is not "3 step to do a Tri". If you are new to sport get this book for next year, and will get the most from it.
Thru the book You may understand what is going to happend in the process to become a better athlete. IF you are a serious athlete (PRO, AGE, CLYD) this is "CONSULTINg BOOK", to read time to time, and found that WOW!!... "now I got it!...that's Why!!!,
Personally I do not like "bible" title, but I may said that Joe is an authority in the SPOTS
Book Review: triathlete's training bible
Summary: 5 Stars
i never like the word "bible" in a book title...kinda offensive to me...but i have to say, if there is a bible for triathletes, this would be it. Very complete as to how your body functions ... written for those who want to understand, not just grab a training plan. This may have more info than most people want, but the more you know, the more successful you can be in setting up your plan. However, no actual training plans are laid out, so i recommend Bernhardt's book (training plans for multisport athletes) along with this for a complete guide to your planning.Book Review: Not for beginner or intermediate triathlete
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this book in hopes of getting basic triathlon information to augment my beginner triathlon class this summer. It has some good information but in my opinion, is geared more for people who do triathlons to get on the podium ... not necessarily to challenge themselves in 3 sports or (gasp!) to have fun. The training programs suggested are far too time consuming and intense for people who have a life outside of training. I ended up finding training info online for free :(Book Review: A must have!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a great book that I would recommend to everyone! I bought this to help me prep for an IM, but anyone who is training any of the disciples in the book will learn something by reading it. This is the best training book I have read.
The only thing that was not relevant to me was the how to make your own training schedule section because I already had a training plan.
This book is a very fast read and very interesting!
