Publisher's Synopsis
This is a comprehensive logbook and a basic training primer. Building on the four earlier standard-setting editions, it is light weight and 'pared down to the bones' -- a flexible year-long training companion. The almanac saves time for the experienced athlete. For the newer participant, it is a foundation for establishing a successful program which conforms to current advances in exercise physiology, training and race preparation. For all, it's an indispensable year-round organiser, record keeper and information source. The weekly log pages now have TWICE the room to write, 108 in all. Includes motivational full-page colour pictures of world-class triathletes in full racing action by the Official Ironman Triathlon Photographer. You will learn from world class triathletes and triathlon authorities how to: prevent burnout and injury; live healthier and race faster; design key heart rate monitor workouts; improve your strength, speed and endurance; prepare, taper and peak for a race of any distance; assemble the building blocks of an annual training program that includes: base training; interval work; peaking and tapering; off-season and mid-season recoveries; develop a mental training program called 'Mind Power' (Mark Allens most well-guarded secret).
