Summary: This is a great book for all types of endurance athletes
Comment: This is a great book for those of you out there that feel a little lost in the world of triathlon training. Stop reading all those contradictory articles and just get this book. Dead serious. To get the full effect of the book you must spend hours studying it. But your racing and training will improve dramatically. The author covers everything from speed, endurance, form, the whole nine yards.

Summary: The most useful Multi-Sport info in one book I've found
Comment: This is not a "hoo-rah" story of a bunch of pro's achievements, but an in depth discussion of endurance in general. There's so much information, that you could pick and choose only 1/3 of it and the book's still a bargain. I bought it when I first started doing short triathalons for fun and fitness, so I didn't use all of the serious training charts. What I did use the most was the discussion on running technique and nutrition's effect on endurance. The swimming and biking technique sections were also helpful. You don't have to be a triathalete to benefit from this book. It applies to hiking, climbing, biking, or any endurance activity.

Summary: Whew! - analytical overload!
Comment: Progression charts, milage graphs, timing in minutes and seconds, pace guides; whatever happened to just "doing it?" Marc Evans is certainly into it but I can't imagine how he keeps up with anyone he coaches, considering all the analysis that has to be done to use his method (would a three-sport athlete have time to even look at these charts?). Maybe it due to computers or maybe the rise of internet coaching, but analytical coaching seems to be the rage these days. If that's what you want, this is the book to get; Evans will have you dialed in and on a schedule that will be the envy of those who make Boeing 747's for a living! Just remember to have some fun in the process, OK? By the way, outside of scheduling charts actual sport-specific training advice is fairly skimpy and generalized. You'd do better to get specific sport information from sport-specific books. Evans would probably agree that a face-to-face coach is better for that sort of thing anyway. As for me, I'll take the advice of one great cyclist: "Ride lots."
