To maintain fitness and improve performance, triathletes need to use their less rigorous off-season for training. This book shows athletes how to make it productive and enjoyable by adhering to a plan with less monotony and more variety. Triathletes are coached in determining limiters and setting training objectives, practicing yoga, using efficient drills to improve swimming, cycling, and running, and doing alternative cardiovascular conditioning activities — which releases them from the same old training plan and increases their overall commitment.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Book but would have liked more information,
This review is from: The Triathlete's Guide to Off-Season Training (Ultrafit Multisport Training Series) (Paperback)
This book was great but I would have liked more information on what workouts to plan when. It gives you an overview of an off-season training plan.
I really enjoyed the section about swim drills, different weight workouts and setting goals for next season!
