Summary

Training effectively for a triathlon is about getting your body used to moving for the same amount of time it will take you to complete the event. So, "Triathlon Training For Dummies" outlines effective training programs based on the readers perceived level of fitness and expected time to the finish line, detailing a four-hour-per-week training program for a Sprint triathlon, eight hours for an Olympic and 20 hours (a much greater time--and mental--commitment) for an Ironman.
