Incredible Book to Unlock Huge Gains!
Thank you Matt Fitzgerald for a very easy to comprehend approach to making huge gains with the 80/20 approach. Like many, I would do training runs for years in the threshold zones and hit brick walls on performance improvements. I have been following his Level 1 Half Ironman training workout and have been making huge gains. For example, my LTP 5 months ago was 7:17 minutes per mile. After performing the same 30 minute running test on the same course and in the same conditions, my LTP is 6:45 minutes per mile. Another factor is that I am following the diet guidance from his Racing Weight book. No need for a personal coach if you follow the training plans from both of these books! In fact, I believe his expertise is far superior to 95% of the coaches out there. Be sure you create a journal to log your workouts also as this will help you understand small refinements you may need to make. Matt Fitzgerald is the man!

A Good Resource for Triathletes – Beginner or Experienced
This book has just the right amount of information to be helpful without being over-whelming. It’s a good reference to keep coming back to for specific advice and information about any of the triathlon distances (sprint through iron man) and gives each of them equal page count. So many books seem geared only to ironman distances and leave those beginner triathletes looking for short course advice behind, but this book has training plans and advice for all distances, novice through experienced triathlete. My only complaint is that it can be hard to understand the training plans because of the abbreviations and the need to keep flipping to the back of the book, however this layout is likely the only way to get all the training plan info into the book without it being twice as thick! Good book. I would recommend beginner triathletes add it to their library.

Good book for understanding how low intensity training can be beneficial in Triathlon
Matt Fitzgerald has provided a quality resource for low intensity training with support for why it works. This book is not a ton of filler and gets right too the point on why this training method is better not only for age groupers but pros as well. The concept of going slow to get fast may seem crazy but it works and the best part is the lack of injuries associated with training.The book provides a ton of training plan detail for all distances of Triathlon at 4 different levels. All laid to help you plan your season. My one knock and why I gave it 4 stars is I’m not a fan of having to reference workouts from the plan to the workout section. I understand why this is a necessary evil given the space and uniformity but it takes away the ability to easily “copy and past” the plan.

Successful half Iron
If you want a plan to follow for your first half distance triathlon 70.3 this book will get you to the finish line feeling great!I wrote out the weekly work outs on big index cards so I could plan my week.Thereâs lots of great info for general strength for a triathlete.The Explanations of zones for each discipline and effort help understand the why of the plans.I used level 3 half iron plan and it had about 8 hours a week all the way up to 13-14 hours in the peak weeks.There are other levels for more time crunched people.Highly recommend this book.

Much better than Joe Friel’s Training Bible
This book is very direct, and no-nonsense. I like that it is very direct about the training plans, whereas Joe Friel’s Training Bible makes you need to spend hours building your own training plans. This is the book if you have a normal job (40-50 hours/week) and don’t have the time to build your own training plans. It’s all here, ready to go. And I loved the texture of the paper.

Easy read – Great Content
I have been running and biking for years, but I have only recently started triathlons. I have plateaued in my training and I think this book may hold the key to unlocking additional gains. Previously I have pushed each workout to be faster than my last. After reading this book, I have tried a few of the workouts and can say that I enjoy them and look forward to them rather than dreading them. I am hoping to start a full triathlon training plan in December and am optimistic about my chances.

Fantastic read
Great planning and insight on how top level triathletes train and how it applies to regular people like me.

Después de leer le libro, la verdad esperaba mucho mas por parte de la información o como llevar el entrenamiento. Su metodologÃa no me termina de convencer.

Durante um tempo treinei com um coach, mas, depois de achar que os treinos estavam ficando repetitivos, busquei um livro que pudesse me ajudar a formatar meu próprio treinamento.O livro 80/20 é bem bacana, o autor se preocupa em trazer evidências cientÃficas robustas sobre as ideias que defende. Em alguns momentos acredito até que as evidências sejam repetitivas, o que torna a leitura um pouco enfadonha.Foi o único livro sobre triathlon que li até hoje, e, no geral, achei bem bacana, me ajudou bastante na formatação de um treino especÃfico para minhas necessidades. Recomendo.

Having read (and really liked) Fitzgeraldâs book about âEndurance Dietâ, my expectations for the book were rather high. But Matt delivers again with a very solid book which does not leave you with any loose ends. I enjoy that the book is very fact-based and does not state some theories without any evidence. The book is well composed and starts with a rather general introduction with a derivation why the 80/20 makes sense and provides real world examples of elite endurance athletes as well as scientific evidence. The middle part examines how micro and macro cycles shall be structured and a large array of sample work outs for each discipline and focus are presented in the appendix. There is even a section on how to integrate core, strength and flexibility training into your training plan â again with described exercises. In conclusion, a very well written book where you have to work through and not something you read before going to bed. Highly recommendable!

Over the past year I have followed Matt and Dave’s 80/20 Marathon and Ironman plans with great results. Prior to the 8020 system, using a more traditional plan I was in and out of physio and getting taped to the hilt just to try and get around, with constant pain in my knees.It says something when my own physio couldn’t believe the volume of training I had been doing and how little work I required once I started following this plan. He now recommends the 80/20 system to his clients.I am 100% sold on the system, and have followed 2 full plans, leading to PBs in both Marathon and Triathlon distances for me.The new book is great as it explains how to properly plan out my own 80/20 plan, with multiple events throughout the year. The strength and conditioning section is a good new feature, and something I am excited to add into my training too.Going slow to get fast sounds counter-intuitive, but it really does work ! This transformed my training, enjoyment of the sports, and significantly reduced recurring injuries from old plans that I followed – I cant recommend it highly enough
