Product Description
This title is packed with expert advice on all aspects of training for, and completing the Ironman 70.3 challenge. Swim 1.2 miles, then cycle 56 miles, finish off with a 13.1 mile run. This is Ironman 70.3 - one of the fastest growing triathlon events in the world. And even though it is only half the total distance of a full Ironman event, it is anything but an 'easy option'! "Ironman 70.3" takes readers on a journey through the complete training schedule needed to prepare for this arduous athletic challenge. It includes detailed training plans and in-depth examples of core and heart-rate training techniques that can be used all year round. This volume also features expert advice on training for each individual aspect of the race, finding the right equipment, typical training errors, tips on recovery, and how to keep motivated.

A must read for 70.3 Ironman Wannabes!,
By
This review is from: Ironman 70.3: Training for the Middle Distance (Ironman Edition) (Paperback)
The authors of this book clearly have a great deal of experience between them and communicate that, and their training tips in a language that's easy to understand. The book includes some reasons why we aspire to compete in such races and suggestions for training plans; covering plans for those who just want to finish, complete in 6 hours and one for more accomplished athletes, who want to set a PB.All in, a great read and must have on any aspiring Ironman's bookshelf!

Maybe 70.3 out of 100%?!?!,

This review is from: Ironman 70.3: Training for the Middle Distance (Ironman Edition) (Paperback)
I bought this book in preparation for the couple of half ironman events I'm planning to do next year. Previously I've bought the Triathletes Bible and found it far too wordy and scientific beyond what I wanted. This book is the opposite. It dulls down the jargon that you get in the larger texts and gives you examples from a few beginner long-distance triathletes. It is littered with spelling and punctuation mistakes, which is a downer, and the references about athletes the authors have worked with gets a bit tedious. There are some good training tips and some decent training plans for beginner, try-harder-ers and elites, so not too bad overall.I just think there must be better written and more informative books out there that don't require a PhD to read and understand.
