Which is truly the toughest sport in triathlon? This is a question athletes and non athletes alike have debated for decades. But how does one come to a clear, definitive conclusion about something with so many different factors? The authors in this book believe that a good true story will always reveal the truth. As such, this book contains stories told by true triathletes making their case for which sport they believe is the most difficult. Includes 23 hilarious, unbelieveable, scary, and touching true stories that will entertain, and maybe even help the reader to come to his or her own conclusion about which sport is truly them most difficult.

This ebook is a compilation and condensation of a lot of other cycling training books, boiled down to a simple, concise philosphy on how to design and use a structured training program. Feel free to download this and pass it along to your cycling friends. Contains reference lisk of books to consider adding to your cycling library.

To become an expert on what this book is all about, simply take a few minutes to read the following...

Congratulations.

You've finally found the ultimate solution to fueling your body with the thousands of calories necessary for Ironman triathlon and ultra-endurance sports - without doing lasting damage to your vital organs, brain cells, skin and immune system!

And now, a word from author Ben Greenfield:

"You, as an endurance athlete, need to eat massive quantities of food, which is why I wrote this book (OK, I also wrote it for you coaches who really want to help your athletes optimize their daily nutrition habits for peak performance).

As a matter of fact, compared to an average person, during your training for ultra-endurance events such as Ironman triathlon, you will burn through an extra 1500-3000 calories per day. And with this extreme amount of energy utilization, most triathletes don and rsquo;t feel the need to bother with dieting or weight maintenance. Heck, some of us do this sport so we can eat as much as we want!

Unfortunately many endurance athletes use the rigor of training and a speedy metabolism to justify a diet that is incredibly calorie dense (as it should be), but is also high in foods that can cause damage to human performance, the immune system, the heart, the hormones and overall health. Even though you may think that as long as your and ldquo;furnace is burning hot enough and rdquo; you can fuel it with whatever you and rsquo;d like, this is simply not the case. The combustible byproducts actually matter!

For example, common traditional foods for fueling endurance sports include high carbohydrate sources such as orange juice, bagels, cereal, crackers, bread, pasta, scones and fruit smoothies. With the advent of commercialized sports nutrition, the dietary staples of an Ironman triathlete now include sports bars and cookies, gels, powders, gummy chews and specially formulated and ldquo;energy and rdquo; drinks.

But a diet high in these type of refined carbohydrates and and ldquo;fabricated and rdquo; foods can cause excessive levels of glucose in the bloodstream, a condition known as hyperglycemia. During exercise, the excess glucose is used for energy. But most triathletes continue to consume these type of high-carbohydrate foods, even outside training.

Several studies have demonstrated a link between hyperglycemia and production of free radicals by immune cells. These free radicals can not only cause inflammation, but also increase potential for insulin resistance, damage the immune system, and reduce exercise recovery. In addition, as you will find in this book, an enormous number of chronic diseases have been linked with hyperglycemia.

When this diet-based inflammation is combined with muscle tissue inflammation from repetitive motion training such as hundred mile bike rides and twenty mile runs, the body is constantly barraged with damaging free radicals. As a result of chronic inflammation, an athlete may experience constant fatigue, sore joints, disrupted sleep patterns, and frequent sickness. New studies on plaque formation in the coronary arteries has even suggested that refined sugars may play a larger role than saturated fat in dangerous LDL cholesterol production.

In this book, you and rsquo;ll learn all about the nitty-gritty details of hyperglycemia, as well as exactly what type of foods you can eat to both control inflammation and reduce your risk for sending your blood sugar levels on a roller-coaster ride. You and rsquo;ll also learn important timing techniques to enhance your sensitivity to insulin, a very important hormone involved with sugar utilization.

But your concern as an Ironman triathlete does not stop with refined sugar consumption. For example, an extremely high daily calorie intake also increases the likelihood of consuming large amounts of common food allergens such as dairy, wheat, whey, soy and eggs. As a result, many triathletes experience bloating, gas, constipation, skin problems and increased susceptibility to colds and flu.

These immune system difficulties are often chalked up to "hard training". However, even when the high volume of training finally does subside, many of these problems can continue to cause a triathlete to experience poor health and gain significant amounts of fat (leading to the ever-growing population of overweight or sick ex-Ironman athletes).

So while an Ironman triathlete may appear to be slim and fit, there are often complex, diet-related health issues that go far beyond physical appearance. Maybe you and rsquo;ve experienced this phenomenon.

You look at your body in the mirror. Perhaps your body looks fit and trim on the outside (although most endurance athletes have that small pouch on inflammatory-based fat on the hips or abdominals). But inside, you and rsquo;ve experienced extreme fatigue in the afternoons, mind and ldquo;fuzziness and rdquo;, aches and pains that are constantly barraging one joint or another, mood swings, stale legs during a workout, frequent and ldquo;hitting the wall and rdquo; during races, and constant colds, flus, and immune system breakdowns.

It is very important to understand that with an exercise regimen that is already very difficult for the average human body to absorb, you as a triathlete must adopt a nutrition protocol that supports complete health, and not just and ldquo;gasoline fuel and rdquo; for exercise.

The solution that is presented in this book involves a diet that focuses on fighting inflammation and controlling refined sugar consumption, insulin levels and potential food allergens.

How is this accomplished? For example, large amounts of wheat and cereal-based carbohydrates are decreased in favor of non-gluten sugars such as sweet potatoes and yams, healthy whole grains like quinoa, amaranth, and millet, and inflammation-fighting, fiber-based carbohydrate sources like chickpeas and lentils. Healthy fats such as nuts, seeds, avocadoes, fish, and olive oil are also included to provide dense, long-lasting energy sources.

Lean protein needs are often satisfied by the foods listed above, but in this book, protein sources also include amino acid supplements, rice milk, almond milk, goat protein or goat milk, and, if tolerated, eggs, beef, lamb and lean dairy.

There are even many spices and herbs such as turmeric, ginger and chilies which can help fight inflammation. Meanwhile, packaged and processed and ldquo;fake and rdquo; foods such as energy bars and gels are limited to longer training sessions, during which carrying real food can be logistically challenging. These are just a few of the considerations and solutions laid out in the pages of this book for the health-conscious triathlete.

After reading and ldquo;Holistic Fueling For Ironman Triathletes and rdquo;, you and rsquo;re going to know exactly how to develop a healthy meal plan that includes anti-inflammatory foods and nutrition supplements, how to avoid common traps while grocery shopping, and how to balance ratios of protein, carbohydrate and fat with training. You and rsquo;re going to be supplied with a and ldquo;no-guesswork and rdquo; nutrition plan that you can simply plug into your existing training routine.

But perhaps most importantly, you and rsquo;re going to be empowered with the knowledge of why you and rsquo;re eating what you and rsquo;re eating!

Whether this is your first or tenth Ironman, whether this is your off-season, your preparatory phase or your build to a race, or whether you feel like you eat healthy but still have physical problems, now is the time to ensure that your diet is clean, healthy and conducive to ideal physical performance.

You and rsquo;re going to be very surprised when you adopt the fueling system in this book and your body suddenly functions properly. When your cells are and ldquo;firing on all cylinders and rdquo;, it is really a magical feeling, especially during a long day like Ironman. This book holds the key to ensuring that you cross the finish line with a smile on your face, knowing that you and rsquo;ve cared for your body and that you and rsquo;ve done no damage with your high daily caloric intake."

Enjoy the feeling!

The Ironman Triathlon is a complex event and if you are training for your first attempt or just considering the possibility of taking on the challenge of the Ironman, you are sure to have many questions about what really goes on and what to expect in the course of your journey. "Ironstruck? 500 Ironman Triathlon Questions and Answers" is the only book of its type available to the triathletes of the world. All the information passed on in this book has been learned from experience gained over a 25 year involvement with this incredible event. It is sure to be of great benefit in your preparation to become a member of the amazing family called "Ironman." As a bonus you will find inspirational stories submitted by triathletes from around the world and even some of their favorite recipes that helped re-fuel them after a stimulating training session.

This anthology of 15 essays, written by every day triathletes, is about humans doing what they were meant to do. In these pages, you and rsquo;ll read why these triathletes love their sport. They are the men and women you meet every day. Some of the authors have regular jobs and some are retired. Some of them are barely out of school and some are grandparents. They are the fast one and they are the not-so-fast one but they all compete from start to finish just the same. You and rsquo;ll read stories of triumph and defeat, of finding oneself and leaving one and rsquo;s old self behind. They write about meeting new love on the course and leaving love-gone-wrong in the dust. For these athletes, triathlon is more than a sport, its a way of life. And, that and rsquo;s the way it should be.

During a race and in training, triathletes live more in one day than most have lived in decades. They pursue their perfect race. Although they may not find perfection it is in the pursuit that they find excellence. Theirs is a healthy pursuit with a promising reward of good health allowing them to do it longer. What they have learned in the sport is through their own self-examination. Triathlon and rsquo;s essence is endurance. Its lessons are taught not in seconds or in the swing of a club or a kick of a ball. This sport, because of its essence, exposes weaknesses, tests will, and expels demons as well as sweat. It teaches patience, perseverance, and pain tolerance. It reveals courage in the most honorable of methods: By testing the faith in yourself. Because without faith under fire, true courage is confined.

What these athletes write about is their calling to be what they were meant to be: A body in motion with their souls exposed in this, the worlds toughest sport.

It's the sad truth, and I can understand your confusion and frustration. Too many fat burning or muscle toning programs are incredibly complicated, require expensive gym memberships, demand hours spent preparing meals in the kitchen, and result in burn-out, mental fatigue, and boredom!

It just shouldn't have to be that way.

Not only should exercise and nutrition be understandable, achieveable, and straight-forward, but it should get results that you can see.

Frankly, if you're not noticing any changes within 3 weeks, then something might just be wrong.

and nbsp;

Yes! After working for over 9 years as a Spokane personal trainer, helping thousands of people melt away literally tons of fat, and discovering how to transform the body into a lean and athletic fat-burning machine, I've collected all the secrets that I've learned over the years and packaged them into one complete manual - a book that will change the way you view nutrition and exercise forever. I call it....

This brand new fitness manual offers a revolutionary new approach, and here's why: rather than separate nutrition and exercise into two different programs, I've combined a workout plan, grocery shopping list, exercise instruction manual and meal menu that shows you exactly how to exercise and what to eat every single day. That means there is zero guesswork - it's all there, in one complete, easy-to-read package that you can keep in your car, gym locker, kitchen table, or grocery store shopping cart!

Best of all, I've designed Shape21 to be applicable for all levels. So each manual includes options for beginner, intermediate, or advanced individuals.

That means that if you have never worked out before, but want to take charge of your life and begin a new exercise and nutrition routine, you'll start with the beginner level...

But if you're in decent shape, but need to lose a few percentage points of body fat, or need to find a diet that caters to your busy lifestyle, you'll begin Shape21 at the intermediate level...

Finally, for athletes who want to see unparalleled increases in speed and power, while retaining a lean sprinter's body and consuming the best possible fuel, the advanced level exercise program in Shape21 will instantly give you a huge performance boost!

Based on what I learned from personal interactions with individuals at health clubs and virtual interactions with the online clients that I train at www.pacificfit.net, I discovered that people need a routine that is easy-to-follow, and involves no guesswork...they want exercise and nutrition that is:

and nbsp;

Step-by-step exercise and eating instructions are a must, and photos are very helpful. So I designed Shape21 to be exactly this type of fitness and diet manual...here's how it works:

The first few pages quickly provide you with a simple introduction of what to expect and exactly how to use the manual, including a walk-through of how to use the meal plan, workout plan...

...then you find out exactly what you need from the grocery shopping list to follow the meal plan for every single week...and trust me...you'll find everything at your local grocery store...just check-off the foods as you put them in your cart...

...once you turn to Day 1, you will have access to a comprehensive menu for every single meal of the day, including exact quantities, easy cooking instructions, when to eat and dozens of other practical nutrition tips and tricks for a delicious, healthy and lean-body diet. And since I work with people who have super busy lifestyles - just like you - I've made sure that the menu takes almost no time and effort to prepare...

...also on Day 1, you'll find your complete exercise plan for the day. You'll be provided with a picture of every exercise, exact specifications for the cardiovascular training, instructions for the best time of day to complete the workouts, and how to match up your meal times to your exercise times for the best boost to your metabolism - all closely guarded personal training secrets that have never before been offered in such a comprehensive package...

...every single day is just as simple! Your meals and your exercises change in new and exciting ways for all 21 days, and each day is laid out in a clear and easy-to-follow format. You'll never get bored, you'll never have to wonder if you're "doing it right", and you'll be able to literally watch the fat melt away while discovering new strength, speed, and power you never thought possible...

...to help you understand why it works so well, at the end of the manual I've included an FAQ's section that provides you with the science behind the nutrition and the workouts, as well as an exercise index that allows you to quickly and easily look up the page number for any of the 101 exercises included in Shape21...

...and finally, since no single body is alike, every day offers calorie consumption ranges and alternate meals based on body size, as well as your choice of beginner, intermediate, and advanced workout plans, each with varying difficulties of exercise and recommendations for altering exercises in the case of previously injured joints or different levels of strength...

This manual is your answer to putting everything together and finally getting the results you want. Just think about it...21 days from now, you will be a fitter, and healthier person, fully empowered with the exercise and nutrition knowledge that you need to maintain astounding results for the rest of your life.

Are you ready to get results for fat loss or lean muscle gain without being puzzled about how to "put it all together"? Then here's your chance to take that first step towards your new body, and eliminate all the guess-work from your fitness plan.

Remember, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, yet expecting new results every time. Step out of the insanity! Once you've downloaded this book to your computer, you can simply start at Day 1, completely fresh, and progress through 21 days, as if you have a personal trainer and nutritionist standing right there at your side!

Do you have questions? Just e-mail me. Otherwise, enjoy your new book, and feel free to send your testimonials, pictures, and results after you make your 3 week journey towards melting away fat, boosting lean muscle, and developing your new lean body!

"Who Else Wants to Completely Eliminate that Frustrating, Nagging and Constantly Repeating Low Back Pain During Running, Cycling or Swimming?"

---

It all started with a simple every day movement. OK, maybe not all that simple. I bent down to move my couch. Perhaps I should have asked for help. The best way I can describe the feeling that I experienced as I attempted to hoist the couch to a separate corner of my living room is red hot searing lower back pain that radiated all around my hips, upper thighs and butt. I hate that feeling. As an avid triathlete, endurance runner, swimmer and cyclist, I automatically know that despite common low back treatements, I could be laid up for days, maybe even weeks.

And the worst part is that when I return to training after such a back injury, I know that I will have a nagging, debilitating ache in my low back or hips that makes every foot strike, every pedal stroke, and every push of the wall just a little more painful and slow.

Damn couch.

Have you ever had this happen? Not only does a stupid injury like this completely eliminate your potential for physical activity in the sports that you love, but to make matters worse, you wake up stiff for weeks, it takes forever to "warm-up" sufficiently for the low back pain to subside, then you risk stepping wrong during a run or mis-shifting your weight in the saddle during a bike and starting the long, nasty cycle all over again!

For the past decade that I and rsquo;ve spent as an endurance athlete coach, dozens of my cyclists and runners have experienced this very same debilitating low back pain that limits power production on the bicycle and stride length or push-off while running. Sometimes the origin of pain is slightly mysterious, and sometimes cannot not be traced back to a single episode of acute injury. And sometimes the pain was a result of a single injury, such as straining the back while moving a heavy piece of furniture.

Like that freaking couch. The pain after this injury never seems to completely disappear, at least not until after I discovered some important secrets about fixing low back pain. But I'll get to those later. First, let me be a little more specific about how this injury actually manifests itself...

The best way I can describe the lower back pain is a slightly radiating discomfort, typically located on just one side. It isn't so bad that you can't do anything. It is just annoying and it slows you down. When cycling and running or performing other repetitive motion sports, you usually experience a feeling of weakness and nerve tingling on the outside of the knee, only on one side or the other.

The best way I can describe the pain is a slightly radiating discomfort, typically located on one side. It isn't so bad that you can't do anything. It is just annoying and it slows you down. When cycling and running, you usually experience a feeling of weakness and nerve tingling on the outside of the knee, only on one side or the other.

As I struggled through weeks of pain, I personally started to keep a LIST of when the symptoms actually presented themselves. The pain and slight weakness or tingling tended to manifest most significantly during the following situations:

Fortunately, certain activities always seemed to slightly relieve the pain (although occasionally they actually seemed to aggravate it). So I made a second LIST. These activities included:

Typically, myself and the athletes that I coach could actually make a popping sensation that came from the back when twisting from side to side or performed a lying rotational back stretch. Sometimes this temporarily alleviated the pain.

But I'm not personally a physician. So for many years, I simply coached my athletes through the pain, allowing them to manage the discomfort with chiropracty, acupuncture, massage, and a stiff upper lip. And I did the same. This just seemed to make sense, since it never seemed like there was a clear and concise way to manage or eliminate the pain.

It was frustrating! Have you ever wanted to go for a nice long swim without feeling back pain every time you push off the wall or reach too hard?

Have you ever wanted to be able to run on a hard surface for more than 2 miles without experiencing tightness, jarring, and eventually pure and simple low back or hip pain?

This type of discomfort severely affected my training and race performance. Desperate to heal my body, I began to research the type of symptoms I was experiencing, speaking with back pain treatment specialists chiropractors, physical therapists, and sport medicine professionals. I learned everything I could about the low back joint, including...

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction....

Sciatica nerve....

Piriformis syndrome....

I learned that the sacroiliac joints are considered a source of most lower back pain, and compression of the pelvis or an asymmetry of the hips resulted in joint dysfunction and subsequent pain. Compression of the pelvis occurs in the seated position, and rotation of the hips occurs in both cycling and running, and both can be the cause of low back pain. An especially significant correlation is noted between low back pain and lack of internal hip rotation mobility.

The development of asymmetry in the hips and improper muscle lengths in the hip rotator muscles can be caused by frequently assumed postures, like sitting for long periods or time or being bent over on a bicycle for hours in the saddle. This was important to know, and a key to the secret of eliminating the low back pain. Here's why: Typically, these type of positions cause the lateral rotation muscles to shorten and the medial rotation muscles to lengthen, and often one side is affected more than the other. When the lateral rotation muscles shorten, the entire hip bone is pulled posteriorly towards the shortened side, thus causing nerve pain that originates from the sacroiliac joint and can even aggravate the sciatic nerve. This pain is aggravated even more during the powerful hip extension movement of cycling and running, during the high compressive spinal forces produced when seated, and during a seated cross-legged position, when the lateral rotation muscles on one side are shortened even further.

Voila! Now we're on to something!

I hunted down one very excellent resource that talked about this "Rotation", and I studied it from cover-to-cover. It was a book entitled "The Malalignment Syndrome", by Wolf Schamberger, and it not only confirmed much of the information I had already acquired, with a very thorough description of low back pain, biomechanical malalignment and improperly rotated hips. But the book was very large, over 450 pages, and I couldn and rsquo;t simply tell my athletes to read the book and figure out how to fix their problem. And I couldn and rsquo;t exactly tuck it under my arm and bring it to the gym every day.

But I read it. Everything was coming together. It was like a giant puzzle, and the pieces were finally creating a picture that I could understand...

Using everything that I learned from the great big book, I began to design and perfect a series of exercises and stretches to fix my low back pain.

It wasn't easy. Depending on which side of your hips are rotated, you have to adjust each exercise or stretch accordingly, and it took hours and hours of practice to actually figure out what actually worked.

But I kept at it.

Then I set about testing my own methods and theories. For 4 weeks, on at least four to five days of each week, I performed the exact routine that I invented. The routine that I designed was was gleaned from the most practical and immediately usable information in the big book, combined with all the tricks and tips from my research and discussions with medical professionals.

My little routine took about 15-20 minutes every morning, and I would simply do it after 5 minutes of light cardio to warm the muscles, like walking down the driveway, out to my mailbox and back.

Good news!

My low back pain began to disappear. My back quit popping. The weakness and tingling in the side of the leg while running and cycling slowly subsided. Suddenly I was starting to feel...NORMAL!

And it wasn't just "relief". I actually felt..."repaired".

So I began suggesting the routine to my athletes, prescribing for them the very same routine, with exact instructions on how to perform each stretch or exercise, and exact instructions to perform the routine every weekday for the next month, and even some videos that showed them how to do the exercises.

I was blown away by what happened next.

Within 1 month of doing this routine, every athlete had not only reduced or completely eliminated their low back pain, but the power meter on the bicycle and the lap splits on the run were suddenly showing PR and rsquo;s! The pain had disappeared and as some kind of strange and unexplicable bonus, all the athletes had gotten faster!

And better yet, rather than engaging in repeated chiropractic visits and weekly manual adjustments, these athletes were finding that their hips stayed in proper adjustment and the sacroiliac related joint dysfunction was eliminated.

Finally, runners at all levels can improve their race times while training less-with the revolutionary Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training (FIRST) program

Hailed by the Wall Street Journal and featured twice in six months in cover stories in Runner's World magazine, FIRST's unique training philosophy makes running easier and more accessible, limits overtraining and burnout, and substantially cuts the risk of injury-while producing faster race times. The key feature is the "3 plus 2" program, which each week consists of:

* 3 quality runs, including track repeats, the tempo run, and the long run, which are designed to work together to improve endurance, lactate-threshold running pace, and leg speed
* 2 aerobic cross-training workouts, such as swimming, rowing, or pedaling a stationary bike, which are designed to improve endurance while helping to avoid burnout

With detailed training plans for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon, plus tips for goal-setting, rest, recovery, injury rehab and prevention, strength training, and nutrition, this program will change the way runners think about and train for competitive races.

Amby Burfoot, Runner's World executive editor and Boston Marathon winner, calls the FIRST training program "the most detailed, well-organized, and scientific training program for runners that I have ever seen."
