I used this guide to get ready for an Ironman. I have done two Ironmans and found this training guide to be exactly what I needed. I was more than ready for the races.
Totally Prepared Me!

I followed Level 6 in the IM distance for my first Ironman. The plan is well thought out, giving you one rest week in every four and builds you to peak week gradually, but methodically. Every workout has its purpose .... you're not wasting a moment of training. I won't say I never got tired, but I was never bored. I highly recommend this book to all triathletes!! I finished my first IM at Florida last weekend in 10:40. The plan works!!
Must-have for any aspiring or current triathlete

When I was recommended this book, my first instinct was to not buy it because of how detailed the training plans are (I thought I preferred flexibility). I soon found out that there's a good reason why top performance requires discipline. This book is for anyone - beginner to Ironman contender. If you follow the exercises as prescribed, you'll see outstanding results. I shaved my 5k time by 3 minutes in just 4 weeks, learned how to swim well from being an absolute novice, and have gained enormous confidence in a sport that I thought would never be possible. This is a must-have training guide.
Excellent guide to triathlete training

I'm new to the world of triathlons, and this book is fantastic. It tells you exactly what to do everyday in terms of training. It makes me feel like I've got a lot of structure in my weekly workout routine. Highly recommended to anyone that likes having a professional tell them what to do in their workouts, instead of trying to figure it out on their own.
Best training book

I have a shelf of triathlon training books--they all have certain strengths and weaknesses. But this particular book is the best of the lot. It gives specificity along with and overview for each plan. Simply the best book around for beginner through expert ironman racer.
