IronFit Strength Training and Nutrition for Endurance Athletes: Time Efficient Training Secrets for Breakthrough Fitness

Very informative book with lots of information on how to eat healthy and exercise for multiple endurance athletes from cyclists and runners to triathletes. As an endurance trail runner I really enjoy this book and I use info from this and "Racing Weight" together to make up my own programs.

This is the latest offering from Don and Mel Fink in a series of books that, for many endurance athletes, has been their 'bible' towards achieving their racing goals. There are plenty of books out there that cover information regarding strength training and nutrition for the generic 'multisport' athlete, but in this latest book, Don and Mel offer sport specific workouts e.g short/long course triathletes, runners 5k-marathon, adventure racers. They also extensively cover hydration and fueling for the endurance athlete and offer a plethora of tips and advice on optimizing training and racing. If you've already read 'Be Iron fit,' then this would be the next logical purchase to take your training and fitness to the next level. If not, then it would be a superb reference for anyone taking part in endurance sport and needing a framework to base their strength training and nutrition plans on. As always, the Fink books are an easy and enjoyable read and somehow manage to simplify a subject that normally seems complex and daunting.

Very specific meal plans and hydration schedules, highlights runners AND bicyclists, links to other websites- all fantastic!!Not much I didn't like...😊

Good book but wasn't useful for what I needed.

This really answered lots of questions. I'm very busy working and this helped me organize my workouts. Did my first in 10 years tri. Last year.

This book is for complete novices, it feels out of date because of the new material being released daily online and in blogs

Item as described. Fast shipment. Pleasure doing business with.

The book has a lot of strength training exercises and information, but in all honesty I was expecting more from the nutritional aspect of the book. It would have been better if it offered any kind of recipie but at most it contains a very loose meal plan based on calorie counts.

An interesting book to accompany the others in their series. Do you have sore knees, then you need to focus more on your core strength to balance out your muscles. I know a few long distance runners who by reading just the first ten pages would be 100% better off in preparing for their workouts each week.This book looks at three key areas:Warming upCore strength exercisesNutritionThe real benefit is found by seeing what athlete you are so that you can see what plan the Finks have devised for you to follow.

Everything made sense and whilst I'm not the world's best when it comes to eating discipline the simple approach to s&c and nutrition has really helped my half iron preparations

Very pleased with this book just what I needed easy to understand and some really good exercises

Hmmm. Interesting but padded out with too much repetitive stuff on how to do exercises and regimes and not enough material on the why.I would have preferred half the material at half the cost. On the other hand if you are very new to this topic and want a lot of direction and guidance it may be just your thing. All very sensible stuff.
