Dave Scotts Triathlon Training 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″).

Customer Review: Dissapointing
This book was a bit dissapointing and hard to follow. The writing style was straining and I felt it was a big advertisement for Danskin. I’m a newcomer to triathlons but have extensive competitive athletic experience and as much as I tried to appreciate the advice, I felt bound and gagged by repeated Danskin references.

The Nonrunners Marathon Guide for Women: Get Off Your Butt and On with Your Training The Nonrunner’s Marathon Guide for Women: Get Off Your Butt and On with Your Training

Dawn Dais hated running. And it didn’t like her much, either. Her fitness routine consisted of avoiding the stairs in her own house, because who really has the energy to climb stairs? It was with this exercise philosophy firmly in place that she set off to complete a marathon.
The Nonrunner’s Marathon Guide for Women is a fun training manual for women who don’t believe that running is their biological destiny but who dream of crossing the finish line nonetheless. It opens with a realistic training schedule and is chock-full of how-to’s, quizzes, and funny observations, which Dais felt were lacking in the guides she had consulted.
The Nonrunner’s Marathon Guide for Women also integrates entries from Dias’ journal, sharing everything would-be marathoners need to know about the gear, the blisters, the early morning workouts, the late-night carb binges, and — most important of all — the amazing rewards.
Anyone can do a marathon. This book just makes the experience a little more bearable and a lot more fun.

Customer Review: great non runner read
great book! would buy if you never ran or walked or crawled a marathon
Customer Review: Highly Recommended Fun!
I finished this book the day after it arrived. So funny, so inspiring. This author freely admits that she was committed to laziness and yet finished a marathon. (albeit in pain!) This is truly more of a memoir than a training manual, but it should inspire you to get off your butt! Even if you have no intention of ever running a marathon, this book will convince you to set a goal and accomplish something that seems impossible. A truly enjoyable read.
