3 out of 5 stars Solid for the beginner   February 1, 2008
I purchased this book several years ago when I was training for my first Ironman. I really enjoyed reading it, but quickly felt the workouts were too simplistic for me. I did a lot of research on my own and started to realize that there is so much more science out there than what is included in this book. It is a decent starting place, but training for Ironman is a serious deal. If you are on a tight budget, it's a good read. If you can afford an established coach, your time training will be much more efficient.


5 out of 5 stars Review of Iron Fit   January 14, 2008
This is the best Comprehensive Triathalon training manual I have found. It is wonderful for the beginning or intermediate triathalete. I would highly recommend it.


5 out of 5 stars surprised   October 10, 2007
I was very surprised when i read this book because there is a lot of junk getting around, i have a wonderful knowledge of all things physical and its hard for me to find information that i dont already know and then this book came along, granted im new to triathlon but this book has not only given me direction but goals and great programs to get from A to B. I would have paid $1000.00+ for this book, thank you Don.


5 out of 5 stars BIG Energy GIVER!!!   September 30, 2007
This book is incredible. I have read many books in my long period on earth, but this one has possibly changed my life the most. I bought this book after slogging through Gordo's book left me overwhelmed.

Don Fink lays everything out in plain language. He never makes miraculous claims,certainly there is no easy way to becoming an Ironman. However, he presents examples of folks busier than me who have done it, and done it well. He presents them, not in a glorfied way, but as humans to whom we can all relate. ( In fact reading his book has made me Karen Smyers fan all the way! )

Equally important to Fink's training strategies, are his lifestyle suggestions. Catching quick naps, managing time, family meetings....these are all concepts we can employ on or off season. However, I found the single most brilliant feature of the book to be Don's concept of identifying life's "energy givers" versus "energy takers" and using your own power to minimize your exposure to the latter. Reading this book taught me that I have some control over what life dishes out to me, and how much I let it effect my race. I take this concept with me along my journey in life every day - as well as the confidence that came with finishing an Iron triathlon.

Anyone who has ever dreamed of finishing an Ironman -- even if it is a decade away on your time plan, PLEASE read this book.



4 out of 5 stars Mis print on book cover   December 14, 2005
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

The book actually contains 3 different training programs based on a 30 week training cycle. The book cover refers, incorrectly, to 12 week programs.
