I'm waiting for this - haven't read it yet but supposed to be good.

Dead easy to follow. Obviously there's no detail in there, but for me (first season) I'm pretty happy with it. I'm not going to smash any records, but this year is all about the learning. (Yeah keep telling yourself that Dave, you haven't got unrealistic target times have you... course not).
Think I'll save Joe Friel for next season.
Run
swim
cycle
each at least three times per week each.
Dependant on the distance of the race.
I agree with you Dave, I've had a good read of it and there's so much detail in there. I've taken on board a lot of tips but this is only my second season and I'm still feeling my way a bit. There's more focus to my training than last year but I think I'll try a full "bible" based traing plan next year.
Check amazon they'll have good deals. And good luck! [:)]
Its just all about breaking the year into stages! So far ive missed the first three but that shouldnt be a problem, should it?
