2.0 out of 5 stars Jack of all trades, master of none, 18 May 2003

By	R. Lyon - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought a heat rate monitor and needed some advice on how to use it effectively, so turned to this. I mountain bike - but the cycling section refers exclusively to the spray-on lycra brigade and their peculiar regimes. I run - but the running section contained flat out contradictions (e.g. "training plan phase I: hard day, run 30 minutes at 75% effort; moderate day, run 40 minutes at 80% effort").

Look elsewhere - there are plenty of titles.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wandering, without meat, 9 Mar 1999

By A Customer

The first chapters could be used for POLAR promotional material. They are repetitive, sale-sy and without any real substance. The contributions by other authors are better, and they do offer some good introductory material for the person interested in fitness training, but little to help in setting up a program, goals, methods, etc. The final discussions about software presents a list of criteria for good software, but no contacts, no list of products or companies, no web page URLs. The reason this book is not a one star book, is because of the multiple authors and perspectives that round out and give a little credibility to the message.

1.0 out of 5 stars Confusing and, in places, just wrong, 25 Jun 2005

By	R. Lyon - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book when I got my Heart Rate Monitor. One simple example illustrates this book's fundamental failure: "Hard Day - run 15-30 minutes at 65-75% effort". "Moderate Day - run 20-40 minutes at 75-80% effort". That's right - run harder for longer on easier days! With that howling editorial failure, none of the rest of the material can be trusted.

2.0 out of 5 stars not for the average person

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a practical book with scientific sense.
The author does a service to those wanting to improve fitness quantitively. One doesn't have to compete with others to enjoy better results.
