Dave Scott’s Triathlon Training Customer Review: A bible for athletes
This is sinmple a must read for any one wanting to do a triathlon…no matter what level you are.
It could do with a little up dating as it was written in the 80’s but this really shouldnt put you off…buy it, read it, get fit!

Customer Review: In Depth material
This book may not suit a beginner or first timer triathlete…but after saying that…there are wonderful bits and pieces that would be helpful. But reading it from beginning to end would be too detailed for those just wanting to get to the finish line (I recommend “triathlon 101″).
I picked up so many details about VO2, anaerobic and aerobic conditioning. It is rare to find a book that can explain the process and why we should train with different methods.
The only area lacking is the workout section. I can not figure out how to design my own w.o. The workouts are not geared to sprints, olympic or ironman’s…so should we all be doing the 3+ hour workouts regardless of what distance we are trying to accomplish? It is very unclear what is the optimum time and or distance. However, the intesity level for each w.o. is clearly explained.
I would recommend this book and maybe in the future Dave will come out with a new edition that clears up some of the confusion between pages 102-130.
