Serious Training for Endurance Athletes 2nd Review: Essential for endurance athletes - This is by far the best book on endurance training I've ever read and applied on my training. The training and racing of seven Ironman-distance races and one Ultraman race I did was based on this book, I finished all of the races successfully. This book was written before the hype of power meters so, if you are expecting anything about it that's not the book for you. The SERIOUS training system is based on a heart rate. The SERIOUS acronym, it's intensities and durations are very well explained through the book so, even if you are a beginner, you'll sure understand it. The examples that the book brings are great for planning your own season. Review: Best body training book for endurance - If you ever wanted a concrete way to actually do those fitness resolutions to make yourself a lean mean working machine this book is the ticket. It is a very inexpensive way to get the best coaching spelled out in an easy to read format. If you want to make yourself competitive for any sport this book will explain how...and it is a challenge and difficult but isn't that the point? ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,732,697 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #56 in Cross-Country Skiing #259 in Triathlons (Books) #553 in Sports Medicine (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (48) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.75 x 9 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 0873226445 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0873226448 | | Item Weight | 1.15 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | August 12, 1996 | | Publisher | Human Kinetics | | Reading age | 18 years and up | ## Images ![Serious Training for Endurance Athletes 2nd - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61q+itfh8NL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential for endurance athletes *by L***O on August 30, 2016* This is by far the best book on endurance training I've ever read and applied on my training.
