An excellent book to help prepare for the Ironman races that includes helpful training schedules, nutrition advice, technique advice, etc.

Love the way the training plans--Just Finish, Intermediate, and Competitive--are all time based rather than mileage based.The essential workouts with exercise photography * The training cycle * Core training * 30-week training programs * Effective time management * The principle of gradual adaptation * Effective heart-rate training * Proper technique * Equipment tips * Race and pre-race strategies * Mental training * Effective goal setting and race selection * Nutrition * And much more.

I've completed to IRONMAN triathlons with no organized training, just making up workouts that I *think* I should be doing. If you are a busy person then this book will help you with time management when it comes to training. I've been following the specific swim workouts in the book, which are very interval-based, and I *hope* that they are making me stronger.

That sounds like a lot, but somehow it will have you believing that the Ironman is accessible with its time management tips and VERY clear training programs. At any rate, they certainly can't be hurting, since my previous swim workouts were kind of just "do whatever I feel like", which wasn't all that successful. I definitely understand more now and already started training in zones and time training as it's recommended in the book.

There is a lot of useful information in here for successfully completing Iron-distance triathlons, and yes, I want to become someone who's maybe in the middle of the pack, instead of towards the end.
