""One-Hour Workouts" is a practical guide for on-the-go athletes who need to maximize their 60-minute training window. The book has something for athletes of all levels." -- "Triathlete "magazine
"["One-Hour Workouts" is] an antidote to a busy day--just the thing for days where a one-hour window is all we've got...This rugged, spiral-bound book will hold its own when tossed into a bag alongside your gear, and it's also compact, leaving plenty of room for that post-bike snack you're already looking forward to." -- "LAVA "magazine
"I've been able to work almost all of [the One-Hour Workouts] into my training and I found them very effective...More than a few of them are now in my permanant rotation and are a welcome change. Interspersed throughout the book, the authors offer nuggets of advice and humor making it a great book for everyone from busy business professionals to homemakers." -- TriEdge.net
Product Description
Perfect for the not-so-perfect day, these 50 smart, efficient workouts will help athletes keep their training on track. Given the choice, most endurance athletes would reserve a few hours everyday for training. But the growing ranks of triathletes, runners, and cyclists are proof that most endurance athletes are working professionals, many of them juggling workouts along with family and their jobs. "One-Hour Workouts" is the perfect solution for athletes who are pressed for time. Even endurance athletes can get a quality training session in one hour if the workout is focused. In "One-Hour Workouts", three prominent coaches have teamed up to prove just that. Former professional triathlete Scott Molina ("The Terminator"), Mark Newton, and Michael Jacques give athletes smart workouts that will complement their existing training and keep season goals on track even in the busiest of weeks. Each of the 50 swim, bike, and run workouts is designed to fit into a lunch hour, including warm-up and cool-down. Athletes can choose a base, tempo, or speed workout for according to their training goals for the day. One of the cardinal rules for the committed athlete is 'never miss a workout', and with this book, athletes will greatly improve their chances of making that happen. In fact, when they begin to see positive results, they will undoubtedly reach for the more efficient workout more often.

An Excellent Source of Workouts
31 Aug 2010
Format:Spiral-bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
You get that for which you pay. This book delivers on its promise. None of the workouts are "run for one hour" either. As an active triathlete, I am always looking for workouts to insert into my annual training plan. This book comes with 50 base, tempo, and speed workouts in each discipline. Basically, that gives you five or six workouts you can incorporate into each phase of your training (base, build, peak, etc). In addition, the authors provide advice on almost all the workouts on how to change it up, adapt it to your situation, and create different flavors of the same workout. For those of us that crave variety, this book doesn't have enough workouts to build an entire annual training plan for every distance, but it does have some really good workouts and advice on how to implement them.
I gave this book five stars because it is deserved. What frustrates me, however, is a lack of "advanced workouts" that coaches save for the athletes they are personally training. Even just one or two of those per discipline would have been nice (and that's really the only complaint I could come up with :-). Overall, this book is an excellent value. A few judicious purchases of other books with workouts combined with some internet research, and you'll have everything you need to fill in the workouts for an entire season of triathlon training.

Sweet - Even for a Newbie!
30 Jan 2011
Format:Spiral-bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am new to triathlon training, and I needed some easy-to-grasp "short" workouts to get me started in my training over the winter. I was very impressed with the quality of the book's design & construction (all laminated pages, small enough to bring to the gym with you) and the clarity of the instructions. I can't wait to put these workouts to use!

must have for any kind of training

Format:Spiral-bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
Even if you don't do tris. this is a great book. Great one hour workouts, I use it all the time. My 2 complaints are 1. some of the workouts are not well explained (like when do you take a rest lap etc) and the other is that it is "sweat proof" not water proof.
Has bonus lifting routines at the back.
