Book Description

September 1, 2010

One-Hour Workouts is a collection of 50 swim, bike, and run workouts from top triathlon coaches that anyone can fit into a lunch hour--including warm-up and cool-down.

If they could, most endurance athletes would love to set aside more time for training. But work, family, and real life too often get in the way of the cardinal rule for endurance athletes: never miss a workout.

One-Hour Workouts is the perfect solution for athletes who are pressed for time. These 50 workouts are tightly focused so that athletes can get a quality training session in just one hour. Athletes can choose from base, tempo, or speed workouts in each sport to match their training plan's goal for the day.

Former professional triathlete Scott Molina (The Terminator), Mark Newton, and Michael Jacques give athletes smart workouts that will complement their existing training and keep season goals on track even in the busiest of weeks.

Editorial Reviews

Review

One-Hour Workouts is a practical guide for on-the-go athletes who need to maximize their 60-minute training window. The book has something for athletes of all levels.” — Triathlete magazine

“[One-Hour Workouts is] an antidote to a busy day—just the thing for days where a one-hour window is all we’ve got…This rugged, spiral-bound book will hold its own when tossed into a bag alongside your gear, and it’s also compact, leaving plenty of room for that post-bike snack you’re already looking forward to.” — LAVA magazine

“I've been able to work almost all of [the One-Hour Workouts] into my training and I found them very effective...More than a few of them are now in my permanant rotation and are a welcome change. Interspersed throughout the book, the authors offer nuggets of advice and humor making it a great book for everyone from busy business professionals to homemakers.” — TriEdge.net

From the Back Cover

One-Hour Workouts is the perfect solution for the not-so-perfect day. You don’t need to compromise your training or miss a workout just because you are short on time.

•    Choose from Base, Tempo, and Speed workouts
•    Modify workouts to match your fitness level
•    Get coaching tips for better technique

You can also use One-Hour Workouts to achieve more balanced fitness with 10 bonus crosstraining and combination workouts. Make your time in the gym more fun with Molina’s drill sessions for running and swimming and a fully illustrated strength regimen. If the gym’s not for you, build muscular endurance for triathlon with a handful of 60-minute bricks.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Source of Workouts August 31, 2010
Format:Spiral-bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
You get that for which you pay. This book delivers on its promise. None of the workouts are "run for one hour" either. As an active triathlete, I am always looking for workouts to insert into my annual training plan. This book comes with 50 base, tempo, and speed workouts in each discipline. Basically, that gives you five or six workouts you can incorporate into each phase of your training (base, build, peak, etc). In addition, the authors provide advice on almost all the workouts on how to change it up, adapt it to your situation, and create different flavors of the same workout. For those of us that crave variety, this book doesn't have enough workouts to build an entire annual training plan for every distance, but it does have some really good workouts and advice on how to implement them.

I gave this book five stars because it is deserved. What frustrates me, however, is a lack of "advanced workouts" that coaches save for the athletes they are personally training. Even just one or two of those per discipline would have been nice (and that's really the only complaint I could come up with :-). Overall, this book is an excellent value. A few judicious purchases of other books with workouts combined with some internet research, and you'll have everything you need to fill in the workouts for an entire season of triathlon training.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet - Even for a Newbie! January 30, 2011
Format:Spiral-bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am new to triathlon training, and I needed some easy-to-grasp "short" workouts to get me started in my training over the winter. I was very impressed with the quality of the book's design & construction (all laminated pages, small enough to bring to the gym with you) and the clarity of the instructions. I can't wait to put these workouts to use!

4.0 out of 5 stars must have for any kind of training June 7, 2011
Format:Spiral-bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
Even if you don't do tris. this is a great book. Great one hour workouts, I use it all the time. My 2 complaints are 1. some of the workouts are not well explained (like when do you take a rest lap etc) and the other is that it is "sweat proof" not water proof.
Has bonus lifting routines at the back.
