5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and scientific, October 25, 2005

This review is from: Science of Triathlon: Triathlon Lecture Series Featuring Joel Friel and Wes Hobson (DVD)

This multiple DVD set was just what I was waiting for. Rather than just a pep talk and a few tricks, this DVD set is made for the serious triathlete. The DVDs really got into the nitty-gritty about how the body performs under stressful situations- and further, how to exploit what our bodies can do in order to reach higher levels of performance. I feel that I can really strive for the next plateau...two thumbs way up.

Doon't waste your money. This was a poor taping of parts of a few triathlon training sessions. I'm sure that these guys are great coaches but they should have hired some production help. There are lots of advertisements for their camps and books and websites but the sound quality is poor and the video isn't much better.

There are about 20 minutes of helpful information spread out over a 9 hour series of recordings. Go to the camp and forget the DVD.

If you know the book "The Triathlete's Training Bible" you should not buy these DVD's. Nothing new, lots of advertisement.
