Format:Paperback
book has everything u need - explanations, clarifications, and most importantly DAY to DAY training programs for 24 weeks in order to prepare yourself for an Ironman. I just love the book. Authors put a bit of a humor on the pages, so it is really not boring to read it.
Highly recommended!

Format:Paperback
I bought this book as I needed a detailed, proven, reputable and cheap trianing programme to get me through my first Ironman triathlon later this year. The book itself is written in a very accessible, easy to understand way. The first half explains the justification behind the 6 month training programme, which is presented as a day-by-day programme in the latter half of the book. It is reassuring to know exactly what needs to be done and when, though for any newbies to Ironman, don't launch yourself straight into the programme - spend a few weeks building fitness or you will risk injury and burnout afer a month of following the programme (I speak from experience!)
That said, I am following this programme and have noticed improvements in my fitness, so it does work. The only downside is that the swim distances are written in yards, and learning some of the shorthand for swim and cycle drills takes a while. But once you are familiar with this side to the training programme you are fine. I would recommend this book to anybody who is doing an Iron distance triathlon or interested in entering an event.

as a training plan

I looked online for a good ironman training plan at a reasonable price. This book gives you a great program to work from that is simple to understand and execute. It also adds in some tips and bits along the way. If you are looking for a book on tri's this is not for you. If you are looking for an Ironman distance training plan then look no further....

Simply put this book is straightforward, easy to understand. Well presented, well written it is a joy to read. Every thing you NEED to know rather would like to know is presented clearly. No rubbish, no pandering to the panic of triathletes and the would I should I could I brigade. If you want to go long, read this book.

A great and truly hands on handbook for preparing yourselves to Iron Man. Appropriately unformal and simultaneously loaded with useable facts, and even a bit of fun.
