What Customers Say About Serious Training for Endurance Athletes:

As of now you get a 0/10 for delivery service. Well, having ordered two books from you people, and only one has shown up (both shipped by October 31 apparently) the other has no tracking possibilities. The first order was trackable, and arrived in two weeks. Yep, I am supposed to just wait in limbo and hope and pray. So seriously, it would be nice if I actually had the second book to review. What gives with the second.By the way I also emailed you about this, and have received no reply. SO, I'll give it two more weeks, then contact Visa.

This is the first book a serious athlete should read on endurance and multisport training. It provides a great foundation for everything you will need to know to develop your own effective training program. The writing team of Sleamaker and Browning work well together. Sleamaker gives you the theory and the facts, and Browning puts them into practice.

It has a lot of good ideas on how to create a training schedule. This isn't the main book I use but I do revert to some of the ideas on occasion.

I use this book in order to build my training schedule and I enjoy any minute. The book explains the different components of the periodic training method and presents a practical way to develope a yearly log for different types of endurance events (road races up to the marathon distance, triathlons and duathlons up to ironman/ powerman distances, cross-country race, cross-country skiing). I use this books for over a year now, and I find it very helpul. The fifth star is missing because I find that the books is lacking a more comprehansive view for the periodization within the training week.
