The Triathlete’s Guide to Off-Season Training (Ultrafit Multisport Training Series)

Customer Review: Good Book but would have liked more information
This book was great but I would have liked more information on what workouts to plan when. It gives you an overview of an off-season training plan.

Customer Review: Best training book
I have a shelf of triathlon training books–they all have certain strengths and weaknesses. But this particular book is the best of the lot. It gives specificity along with and overview for each plan. Simply the best book around for beginner through expert ironman racer.
Customer Review: Must Have
If you are a triathlete or you are looking to become a triathlete this is the best training book/program available.

Going Long: Training for Ironman-Distance Triathlons (Ultrafit Multisport Training Series)

Customer Review: Great book
This book is very informative and helpful to those making the transition to Half and Ironman distance tri’s. I would have given this book a five star if I didn’t already have Gale Bernhardt’s training plans for multisport athletes. All the info in Going long is in Gale’s book. They obviously consulted one another when writing their respective books. I recommend Gale’s book if you plan on doing different distance Tri’s. Joe’s book is more specific to the Ironman distance athlete. Good luck and always ride with a tailwind.
Customer Review: If you want to go for the long distance - it will help you to suffer with style
