It really makes the idea of training for an Ironman seem reasonable (even though as I read that sentence I think--nothing about training for an Ironman seems remotely reasonable). Really like the concept/plan and want to use the Intermediate training plan for the 2010 full ChesapeakeMan.

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. 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. Very specific, structured and guided tips and tricks along with a lot of stories coming from real experience makes this a must read for fitness enthusiasts. 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!

Every season tens of thousands of amateur triathletes compete head-to-head, pushing their physical and mental strength to the limits.

This would apply to biking and running, but my biking right now is on the trainer, using software, and the workout intervals are based on time, so I'm already getting this one right, but I'll have to remember for when I start riding outdoors again, on my *new* bike.This book acted as a second coach to me during my triathlon journey as I went from Olympic level to 70.

It's an incredibly comprehensive and down-to-earth training guide with a variety of training plans and suggested exercises. g., most endurance athletes train at too high of a heart rate and do too much anaerobic training), but nothing too in depth.

Paperback book is around 280 pages with 100 of those pages dedicated to workout plans already drawn out. I would recommend it to anyone who is not a professional athlete and interested in training for an Ironman. Even if you have no interest in participating in such an event, the book can still provide you with beneficial information on health and training. 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.
