1: Excellent guide to triathlete training
I'm new to the world of triathlons, and this book is fantastic. It tells you exactly what to do everyday in terms of training. It makes me feel like I've got a lot of structure in my weekly workout routine. Highly recommended to anyone that likes having a professional tell them what to do in their workouts, instead of trying to figure it out on their own.

2: 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.

3: Must Have
If you are a triathlete or you are looking to become a triathlete this is the best training book/program available.

4: Great for plan ideas, not a lot of explanation (I'd rate it a 3.5)
I bought this book for more access to training plans. The variety of plans and number of different fitness levels it offers is great. The key in it is great and fairly user friendly. I found that the plan I chose based on my "fitness level" according to the book seems a little ambitious so I found myself editing a lot of the plan. Also, some of the training plans require knowing where a 5-6% grade hill is that takes at least 1 min to bike up. I don't really know where one is and so that makes some of the workouts unable to do or extremely limiting. I also find some of the swimming workouts get to be very redundant, just adding on one extra hundred yards to the same workout every week. More importantly, I feel that for a beginner swimmer, these workouts require a lot of yardage and perhaps pushing too hard, too soon. I have been a competitive swimmer for 14 years so I can tune these practices to the ability of the swimmer, but if my boyfriend would've picked up the book and tried to do some of these workouts I think he might injure himself (shoulders). Overall, great book to get ideas, but some of the workouts are a little difficult to make it easy to fit into your schedule and location.

5: Great Book for training
This book have all the information you need for have a good training you can choose whatever your condition, there are very goods training plans for everyone, this book do not have 5 stars,because i did not found any measure to see my performance, i mean time, so if i run 10 km in 30min. or 40min. or 1 hour, i would like to receive a status of my training.
