This book... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

This is an excellent book. It gives you thoery and practice for triathlon training. I would recommend it to everyone who wants to run a triathlon.

from Avery
Price: $10.85
Customer Review:
There is some good info here, but the authors of New Rules seem more interested in advancing their particular training philosophy than in actually educating/inspiring readers to improve their training.
Essentially, the focus of their 'New Rules' is compound, Olympic-style weightlifting. Nothing... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
