This is an excellent book that made me feel that I could do this. The book starts out with an assessment that suggests your level of intensity to begin training. I liked being taken through the basics and learning how one activity flowed into another through training.
The book offers advice for every step of the way. I enjoyed going over the authors advice on form for running, biking, and swimming. The authors get into diet, scheduling training, how to improve form, and how to recognize from your heartbeat that you may need a day off from training. I liked how the authors go into race day and what will happen at each phase. I like to visualize myself going through long endurance runs and the authors made this possible. I have a feeling that the authors like to do the very same thing. This is an great read for anyone wanting t do a triathlon or train like you are in one.
