Top 12 Resistance Training Routines for Triathletes
by Stacey Cummings [Featured Reviewer]
Publisher: Ben Greenfield Fitness
Date Added: 06/29/2010 07:57:25
Top 12 Resistance Training Routines for Triathletes I purchased this book as part of a training plan from Ben Greenfield. I like the routines in the book because they allow for focused strength routines for the time-challenged athlete. As a triathlete, my time is very limited in trying to squeeze in all of my tri-specific training while also wanting to squeeze in a strength workout. The routines focus on supersets and giant sets, so there is no standing around between sets--as I don't have the time to just stand around. But, don't let the workouts fool you. They are challenging and will have you sweating in the gym (or at home). I highly recommend this book for the triathlete that wants to stay in the gym and wants guidance on tri-specific, to the point strength workouts....

Triathlon: A Mother of a Race! Supermoms Who Train, Race and Win.

Triathlon: A Mother of a Race! Supermoms Who Train, Race and Win. A poignant collection of tri-Moms from their children's, mostly, perspective. What a great Mother's Day present to be included in this book by my son! If you have a mom that is a triathlete or maybe aspires to be one, I can't think of a better gift than "Supermoms Who Train, Race and Win. Very readable. Great stories.

Core Performance Endurance

Publisher: Rodale
Date Added: 04/07/2010 13:31:50
Core Performance Endurance This is one to purchase and keep because you will find yourself wanting to come back to it later for reference. I have found this book useful as an ultra runner, as a triathlete and as a middle school coach, but for me it has been a pick and choose process. I've not moved through the suggested stages (i.e. A, B, C) and levels (1, 2, 3) as given in the book. In fact, I find the layout in the book a bit disjointed. But don't let that keep you from it! Even if you use the book to learn some selected core exercises and warm-ups it is packed with practical and valuable information you won't find elsewhere. As a middle school coach I have found the section on movement prep quite useful. By middle school kids seem to have been indoctrinated into the 'warm-up with static stretches routine' and I've found that they need to have a dynamic warm up just as badly as us old folks! For myself, the portions of the book on "tissue management" have been of tremendous value to me. I also appreci...

Runner's World ® Run Less, Run Faster
by Stacey Cummings [Featured Reviewer]
Publisher: Rodale
Date Added: 01/27/2010 11:39:48
Runner's World ® Run Less, Run Faster I recently purchased this book to look for a different method of run training to mix my training up a bit this year. I read the overview of the book and was interested in seeing what the book had to offer. It is a pace-based running program based on a recent 5k running result and has only three days of running per week and cross-training on the non-running days. The paces are a bit faster than previous pace-based programs that I have read, so the runs were difficult at first. Many of the pages are filled with success stories and letters from runners that have followed the program and completed races with PRs after following the program. So, if you like to read case studies and get runners' perspectives, you will enjoy the format of the book. I did find myself skipping past some of the stories to get to the "meat" of the program. The book may be a good program to follow for those athletes that have a tendency to get injured on running back-to-back days or high mileage weeks....

Core Performance Endurance

Publisher: Rodale
Date Added: 01/27/2010 11:38:51
Core Performance Endurance I picked up this book a few years ago when I was looking for a way to strengthen my core. It really focuses on injury prevention and strengthening the body from a functional point of view. This is completely different than most of the "strength" programs that exist today—as they are geared for putting on muscle and not geared towards specificity of sport. Core Performance also has a website which contains a great deal of information and I reference it often. But I would definitely recommend reading the book to gain a better understanding of the "why" of the different type of movements the author recommends—such as movement prep, regeneration of the muscles, explosive movements (ie plyometrics) and strength. I really like the concept of this program and feel the book is written in such a way that it is very informative and not filled with a lot of "fluff" and is relevant to the sport of triathlon and endurance sports....

Daniels' Running Formula, Second Edition
by Stacey Cummings [Featured Reviewer]
Publisher: Human Kinetics
Date Added: 01/27/2010 11:37:59
Daniels' Running Formula, Second Edition This book came highly recommended to me when I sought assistance with my running on an online triathlon forum. I have read numerous running books and this is, by far, the most concise and detailed book I have read to date. It details exactly what physiological benefits you obtain from the different types of runs(lactate threshold, VO2 max, running economy, etc) how long to run, how long to recover, how often to perform certain types of runs. I purchased this book two years ago and reference it often still. I started running with pace after reading this book and feel it was the best move possible in my training so far. I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking to improve their running. It does recommend a larger amount of weekly mileage, so may be a challenge to follow the plan 100% when trying to squeeze in swimming and biking at higher volumes. I feel this is the one of the best books in my library of training resources!...

Holistic Fueling For Ironman Triathletes
by Stacey Cummings [Featured Reviewer]
Publisher: Ben Greenfield Fitness
Date Added: 01/27/2010 11:37:09
Holistic Fueling For Ironman Triathletes I purchased this book after listening to Ben Greenfield’s podcasts because I was interested in finding a healthier way to eat while training for my first ironman. This book provided exactly the type of information I was looking for and needing. The author spends a good amount of the book on why what we eat is so important with all the training stress we put on our bodies. The book does a great job of breaking down the types of food to eat and types of food that should be avoided. He addresses food sensitivies and foods that may increase inflammation in the body. It is based on focusing more on natural food and shifting away from highly processed foods. The last part of the book breaks down exactly what to eat at each meal and snack depending on the phase of training—for example—base training, build training, taper weeks, race week. I highly, highly recommend this book for anyone that is looking for a better way to fuel their bodies during training for triathlon....

You Go Girl! The best is yet to Come... If you want to be challenged and encouraged to step out on faith and do something you have never done before, you must read "You Go Girl!". The book captivates the reader and pulls them into the authors experience as she trains for her first triathlon. At times you feel like you are swimming, biking and running right beside Darlene. It also reminds the reader that life is full of ups and downs. Through the ups and downs it takes shear determination to continue. It reminds us all that life is a journey and is what we make of it! Great read!!!...

Running Anatomy
by Lori Jensen [Featured Reviewer]
Publisher: Human Kinetics
Date Added: 01/18/2010 12:13:11
Running Anatomy Make yourself a smarter runner! This is truly a terrific book for for beginning fitness runners and seasoned competitive runners alike.The book will help you understand the anatomy of the running body but it will also arm you with exercises and techniques to enhance your running. You get both in one book! You get lots of great illustrations and details. When a strengthening exercise is given, you get drawings illustrating the exercises and drawings highlighting the muscles used in running, making the connection between the exercise and running very clear. I found this was helpful and motivating as well. I could have done without chapter one, titled "The evolution of the human runner," lately it seems the majority of books about running seem to feel obligated to include a similar section or chapter and they all seem redundant to me. That said, let me move on to the highlights. Here are a few of the topics you can expect to read about: VO2 max training and training progressi...

You Go Girl! The best is yet to Come... You\'ll be amazed at what you can accomplish when you commit to fulfilling your wildest dreams! -Darlene Ballard If you\'ve already made the decision that triathlon is not for you this would be a dangerous book to read. Without a doubt, if you don\'t set out to train for a triathlon, then surely you will be looking for some new mountain to tackle in life because Darlene\'s story is motivating! In short, this is written to encourage and empower the woman who suspects she is at a crossroads in which she either needs to shape up or ship out...and for whatever reason, the sport of triathlon is the catalyst. The book is based on Darleen\'s experiences training for the 2008 Aflac Iron Girl triathlon at Lake Lanier, Georgia. Darleen is honest about how she was stretched and challenged as she chronicles her adventure on the way to completing her first triathlon as a member of the Aflac Iron Girl Team. \"My swim coaches and fellow teammates encouraged and reassured me...

The Dynamic Path
by Lori Jensen [Featured Reviewer]
Publisher: Rodale
Date Added: 10/15/2009 13:16:20
The Dynamic Path The author, James Citrin, interviews several athletes in this thought provoking challenging book. The general premise is that there is a common pattern among people who make successful transitions in life and become champions at what they do. Citrin explores what those factors are, and how you personally can apply them to your life. I have just a couple cautions to the reader. First, the author's definitions of "success" and "champion" may not fit your definition, your viewpoint may be different-but that's okay- the final thought is that everyone wants their life to count for something. That brings me to my second caution, it is more than a book about sports if that is what you were looking for. The book falls into the motivational and self-help category--that is, the ideas offered apply as much to the to the business person as the athlete. Nonetheless, the book contains many entertaining stories and interviews with people you will know, like Tiger Woods,Tony Hawk, Billie Jean King,...

16-week Half Ironman Triathlon Training Plan - EXPERIENCED

16-week Half Ironman Triathlon Training Plan - EXPERIENCED This Ironguides training-plan literally saved my season this year. After an injury-plagued summer my training for my end-of-season 70.3 race was without any direction. However about 5 weeks before the event I got a hold of this training program and with small adjustments to meet personal needs and good training execution I was able to have a breakthrough race by winning my age group. Even though I wasn’t able to do the full program it seemed to work wonders. The plan is comprehensively structured and very easy to follow. A very good help for any self-coached athlete....

Runner's World ® Run Less, Run Faster

Date Added: 09/11/2009 12:20:09
Runner's World ® Run Less, Run Faster Would you be willing trade some of your weekly miles in for less mileage but more intensity? Would you be willing to not run at all on a couple days and cross train instead? (Swim, bike or other) ...Well, I wasn't sure how I felt about it either. I like running! But, what if you were able to run faster because of it? --Now I've got your attention! For my first marathon, used a program which called for no speed work and no cross-training, just long slow miles followed by long slow miles. I ended up injured in the last month coming into the race. And, as much as I love running, I also had a lot of days where getting out and doing the work was becoming drudgery. All that changed when I trained for my second marathon the same year and used this program. The program gives you three key running workouts a week. The other days call for cross-training, such as biking or swimming. Included are programs for 5k, 10k, and the half-marathon, but the focus is definitely on the marathon. I ...
