Summary: The title says it all...
Comment: The title sums up what this book is about and who it is for better than any other training book on the market. It is a complete program for competitive athletes. If you are currently doing triathlons just to stay in shape and enjoy yourself without worrying about your finishing time, stay away from this book. Stick to your swim a little, bike a little, run a little and see what happens training program. But the second you find yourself saying, "I want to beat my previous time" or "I want to see how fast I can go", this is the book for you.
It is one of the only books out there that teaches you the information necessary to develop a customized training program that is perfect for only one person - YOU!
Beware of all the books written by the stars of their respective sports that show you what they did to win, then tell you to adjust their program accordingly. Granted, many of these books are interesting reading and have some insightful hints, but they don't teach you the skills to think up your own program that fits your lifestyle.
This book offers facts. It lets you decide how to incorporate all these facts into your own training, whether you are a first timer or elite competitor. The instant you decide that your last triathlon was not your best effort and you get competitive with yourself, buy this book.

Summary: REVIEW BY AN OLDER,RECREATIONAL ATHLETE
Comment: I'm 57, and returned after a 15-year hiatus this spring to participate in multi-sport events. I think Friel's book would be great for the younger triathlete, or an older, dedicated triathlete with the time and energy to devote a aminimum of 20-25 hours a week to training. For the old geezer like me--- that is to say, a marginal athlete with a job, a family, other interests, and a maximum of twelve hours a week to train, this book is totally inappropriate. It's far too technical and clearly targets younger athletes already competing at or near the elite level. Something comparable to Galloway's 2nd edition book on running or his "Marathon---You Can Do It" would be far more useful to somebody at my level.

Summary: This is TRIATHLON BIBLE
Comment: If you have trained for enough to discover you don't know what you are doing and you need help this is the book for you. It covers pretty much everything about training for triathlon (most of the advise applies to any sport but the examples and emphasis is targeted to triathlon).
You could also stand up with the right foot If you are new to sports but can grasp the knowledge in here.
Good luck training
PS I am waiting for the revised version and I heard it is on the works
