I'm a book junkie...especially "how to" books on things I love to do (like triathlon.) This one's got plenty of good information, and I like the simpler approach. However, if you're an elite athlete (or wannabe), perhaps this may be too simplistic. Things I liked:

- The simplistic approach to training (I just don't have time to break down my build phase into 5 periodized segments :-))

- The emphasis on establishing *realistic* goals

- The creative training log formats

- Many good ideas & suggestions to take away and use in a way that works for *you*.

There simply is no one-size-fits-all, magical training program out there that will turn you into a better triathlete. Every person's goals, abilties, time schedule/commitments, and life in general are unique. So, glean some new ideas from this and other good books out there, and design the best program for you. This one, in my opinion, has plenty to offer.

I liked the content, a lot! It's clear, and somehow inspiring.

But having it on kindle is not that useful, because all the logs pages at the end of the book will be uneditable!

Beginning triathletes or those who just don't have time to build their own training programs will find this simple approach to the sport appealing.
