The Complete book of Triathlon Training

The Complete book of Triathlon Training by Mark Kleanthous ABOUT THE BOOK This book tells you everything you need to know about triathlon, whether you be a sporting novice or an elite athlete in another sport. It tells you how to get started - what equipment to buy, the diet you will need, how to devise a training routine and how to arrange your busy life in order to accommodate it - and then explains how to finish a race, as well as how to recover from it. This book will tell you how to be the best that you can be in triathlon - not necessarily by training harder, but by training smarter. TRAINING STRESS-LEVEL-POINTS SYSTEM Every aspect of your life has the potential to affect your mental and physical performance, and you need to take this into account when devising your training in order to avoid both over-training and under-training. The author's system for monitoring training-stress levels which he has been successfully using for many years, is unique to him but is revealed in this book. Use it and you can achieve your optimum performance.
