Author lays out the Table of Contents from A to Z. Nice. The 'Brick Training' was the first thing to catch my attention. It seems common sense but not common practice to combine training methods if doing a triathlon. But I guess many athletes just train for running one day, swimming 2 days later, etc. The author gives tips for a better way on how to combine these 3 different activities so you'll be prepared and won't feel the common fatigue that plagues most inexperienced triathloners. (I just made triathloners a word if it's not already)He lays out a full circuit training, distance training with a chart of what distances are considered 'sprints' 'olympic' and other distances to practice. He also lays out how to best prepare, what criteria to use when deciding how many events per year, and why endurance and speed training are necessary when doing a long event like the triathlon.
